IntelliJ Idea opens main, context menus and autocomplete on main display only

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

  • JDK Java\Oracle 1.6.0.26
  • Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity

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.

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.

Where is context menu in IntelliJ?

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.
