Most likely a duplicate of the issue caused by the infamous "popup hack". Try to
run NetBeans with -J-Dnetbeans.popup.no_hack=true and let me know if it helps.

Also see issue #49931, issue #47719, issue #39740, ...
Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2005-04-21 01:56:45 UTC 
Eric, please, could you try it out?
Comment 3 ericarseneau 2005-04-21 17:24:21 UTC 
- if I add in the -J-Dnetbeans.popup.no_hack=true, then the problem is reduced
- there are still issues with placement of the menu if the menu bar item is
close to the border/transition between the two monitors, but it is not as bad as
having the menu on completely the wrong screen :)
Comment 4 Jan Chalupa 2005-04-21 17:31:51 UTC 
Hmm, I think that with the "popup hack" off, NB simply defers to default Swing
behavior. Could you please try a simple Swing app (e.g. the SwingSet2 demo) and
see if it's different from what you see with NetBeans?
Comment 5 Milos Kleint 2005-07-14 10:06:55 UTC 
the popup hack was completely removed now, using pure swing only. the issue is
probably fixed in trunk. someone with dual monitor please test.
Comment 6 Jan Chalupa 2005-07-14 13:07:24 UTC 
Not there yet. I'm still getting main and popup menus on the wrong screen when
running the recent trung build in a dual-monitor setup.
Comment 7 Jan Chalupa 2005-07-14 13:08:02 UTC 
... recent *trunk* build, of course...
Comment 8 Marian Mirilovic 2006-01-03 10:50:56 UTC 
Too late for NB5.0, please reevaluate.

This issue has the same reason as 58076, JDK bug. See 58076 for details.
