Java Swing application window disappears when moved to another screen/desktop/display on Mac OS X

Question

My Java Swing application window disappears whenever I drag it with the mouse from one monitor to another. It is visible while I drag it, but it disappears immediately when I release the mouse button. I would rather that the window didn't disappear. Why does it disappear?

When I activate Mission Control, the Swing Window appears at the bottom of the desktop where I dragged it. Deactivating Mission Control causes it to slide off the bottom of the screen.

It doesn't matter which Java Swing application I run. For those who want the code, here's a simple Java Swing application that exhibits the behavior I'm describing, enjoy:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class SimpleSwing {
    public static void main(final String... args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                @Override public void run() {
                    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                    JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
                    contentPane.add(new JLabel("Hello World!"));
                    frame.setContentPane(contentPane);
                    frame.pack();
                    frame.setVisible(true);
                }
            });
    }
}

My environment is Oracle Java JDK (latest as of this writing) on Mac OS X Yosemite (latest as of this writing):

java version "1.8.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C1510)
Darwin Kernel Version 14.1.0

Answer 1

Step: Before frame.setVisible(true); you can add below two line of code and then test again.

frame.setLocation(500, 500); frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true);

Answer 2

Try the following:

1. Go to System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement
2. Align the two rectangles perfectly
3. See if it works
4. If not, change the order of the 2 rectangles (and the monitors or plug them in differently)

Hope this helps, but I'm not sure if it is the solution.
