Bug Description

This was happening to me today - both menus and autocomplete! And this is Netbeans 8 on 14.04.

Is there no workaround, or at least a way to trick Netbeans into thinking a certain screen is the default screen?

I am getting the same as BraD C's image. This only seems to happen with Netbeans on the secondary monitor and the pop ups appearing on the main laptop screen

I am also getting the same bug. It usually happens when I attach the second monitor after I have started Netbeans. The 2nd monitor is on the left, and extended with the 1st monitor on the right. If I put Netbeans on 2nd monitor, it works correctly. But if I move Netbeans to the first monitor, the autocomplete pop up is still on the second one.

Ubuntu 16.04, Netbeans 8.1
