Since I've updated to 12.10 I'm having a very bizarre behavior when running IntelliJ.
Notice how the "File" menu is 2/3 of the screen down instead of where it's supposed to be? This is the case when I activate it using the mouse or the Alt+F hot key.
I am using a dual screen setup. IntelliJ is currently maximized on screen 2, and a console is maximized on screen 1.
The behavior isn't consistent, but if I use it long enough (a few hours) I usually observe it.
The only non-standard plugin I have is IdeaVM. 2 part question. 1. Has anyone else observed this behavior in IntelliJ or other apps? 2. Any suggestions on how to fix it.
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-11485#comment=27-393224 is the closest I found to a fix, which involves reverting to Oracle JDK's 1.6.
My problem also doesn't seem to be consistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes a restart of intelliJ makes the issue go away for a period.
Either ways, it's a bug, and I hope IntelliJ fixes it at some point. It doesn't seem to be Ubuntu specific.
Latest version of IntelliJ fixes this behavior. At least it works for me on
Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, using oracle's java 7
