Description rlubke 2006-04-27 00:14:03 UTC 
If working with NB on a multihead system, all pop-up dialogs are centered in the
virtual workspace.  It's somewhat annoying to have the IDE in one screen and
then have all of the dialogs split between two screens.  

Would it be possible to center the dialogs on the main frame?

Hello,

I am experiencing a similar issue with Netbeans dev 201504210001, on window 8.1, runnning java 8_u45 on a dual screen (2 different screen resolutions).

when editing inside the Matis navigator, a pop up menu overlap both screen: add from palette.
Other menus seems to display fine.
Screenshot is attached.

Regards,

Same problem appears for me.

My distribution is Linux Mint 17.1, JDK 1.8u66. I've also noticed that the bug appears only when Netbeans is located on the right screen.
