I have used IntelliJ Idea (build 111.277) on a dual-monitor system with Ubuntu 11.04. Some popup UI elements, such as main menus, autocomplete lists opens on the primary (notebook) display only, when the main window take place on the secondary display.

Does anyone know how to fix it?
UPDATE: System details
IDEA starts on the secondary display. Secondary display is Samsung E2020 connected to the HP ProBook 6450b laptop, resolutions of both displays are the same.
By default, IntelliJ IDEA displays the code completion popup automatically as you type. If automatic completion is disabled, press Ctrl+Shift+Space or choose Code | Code Completion | Type-Matching from the main menu. If necessary, press Ctrl+Shift+Space once again.
If you hide the main menu, you can still access it with the corresponding action: press Ctrl+Shift+A and search for main menu.
The main toolbar with buttons for opening and saving files, undo and redo actions is hidden by default. To show it, select View | Appearance | Toolbar.
On Windows, you can use the dedicated "context menu" key to the right of the spacebar. On other operating systems, there is no default shortcut, but you can assign one if you search for "Show context menu" in Settings | Keymap.
At the moment IDEA is unable to properly handle such a configuration (due to this bug). The workaround is to configure your X in Xinerama mode.
