IntelliJ Idea not working on 2nd monitor

Answered

Hi, I've got dual monitor setup and the IntelliJ Idea is not working on 2nd monitor.

Setup

Idea version: IntelliJ Idea Community Edition 2017.2.4

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1

Graphic card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

Monitors: 2x DELL P2314H (Generic PnP Monitor)

My main monitor is on the right and 2nd monitor is on the left.

On the main monitor the Idea is working just fine. On the left monitor, it stops redrawing. Which means it registers the clicks, but you can't see the result. The window looks the same as before. If I drag the Idea window beyond the left edge of the left monitor, you can see the blurred artefacts in the window. To see the changes I've made I need to drag the window back to the main monitor and minimize and maximize it. Then it's redrawn correctly and is again responsive.

If I in the Windows settings set the main monitor so it's on the left side and 2th monitor is on the right side, it's working normally.

My friend with the same setup (wich has Ultimate Idea edition), doesn't have this problem. And I wasn't been able to google it out, so I'm probably in minority who has this problem.

Any help please?

Thanks a lot for amazingly quick response!

Workaround by adding this:

sun.java2d.d3d=true
swing.bufferPerWindow=false

to my Idea custom properties didn't worked (yes, I've restarted the Idea), but install of KB4039884 Windows update worked.

Thanks once more!
