Description imnes 2005-11-15 15:53:57 UTC
Running NetBeans 5.0 on Java 1.5.0_05 on Ubuntu 5.10 Linux running Gnome 2.12.1.

As shown in this screenshot:
http://www.cs.uwf.edu/~nsmith/screens/ubuntu-5.10/jmenu-behind-gnome-panel.png

When right-clicking in the inspector palette the context menu is obstructed
behind Gnome's panel.

Possible fix: maybe make sure that a menu never extends past the edge of a
window when it is maximized?

On my Win XP it works correctly, so it's specific for Linux, perhaps Gnome.
Could you please test also SwingSet2 demo java app (included in jdk
installation) if menus are hidden behind gnome's panel as well? I tend to think
this is general java (swing) issue, not Netbeans specific. Thanks.
Comment 2 David Simonek 2005-11-22 18:15:05 UTC
Confirmed, this is general java/swing issue, and is reproductible on Linux with
JDK 1.5 when the application window *is maximized*.

We verified that bug is fixed in newest version of jdk. (1.6, which is early
access now).

So closing, nothing more can be done on Netbeans side.
