I have a split monitor setup. My primary screen has a 1024 X 768 resolution. My secondary display has a 1280 X 1024 resolution and its upper left hand corner coordinates are (-1280, -1024). The problem is that when I have the ide in my secondary display and I click on any of the menus the dropdown is diplayed in the upper left hand corner of my primary display (0,0).

Reassigning for evaluation. Might be JDK issue.
Passing to Trung at his request.
dup of issue 41159 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 41159 ***
This issue has not been fixed with the fix of issue 41159. My dual screen setup is bit different in that my monitors are not setup side by side and my secondary monitor is to the left and above my primary monitor(virtually of course). see the attached screen shot. Here are some more details on my setup. I'm running with jdk1.5.0 on Windows XP Professional. I retested with Netbeans 4.0 RC 1 and the issue has not been resolved.
Confirmed. I can reproduce the problem with NB 4.1 Beta on WinXP. It seems as if menus weren't allowed to display at positions with negative coords.
BTW, SwingSet demo bundled with JDK 1.5.0_01 works fine. So it doesn't seem to be a JDK issue.
Trung, fyi, your test from java.net http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Netbeans/MultipleMonitors shows no problems. 5 or 6 test frames are displayed on both monitors.
OK, clearly bug in NB. Honza you must find someone else to fix the bug. I don't have time to work on this now. See also http://openide.netbeans.org/multi-monitors.html, something I wrote long time ago.
Worth mentioning that if I run NetBeans with netbeans.popup.no_hack=true, the menus render perfectly. For the short term, the option can be used as a workaround, but we should finally get rid of this popup hack forever.
I agree with removing the popup hack...what was the issue that covers hack removal?
See issue #56194 (TASK). However, I think it's already too late to make it in 4.1. Let's try to do it soon after 4.1 is branched.
See also issue #38375.

Dafe, do you plan to work on this issue for next release ? We have few dual monitor's issues, so I think it will be more than nice if we solve some of them in the near future.
Yes we plan to remove popup hack, which will solve his issue, as Jan wrote. However, complete multi monitor support (editor detaching) is not planned.
