(177/211) 3954 - jEdit 5.3.0 freezes on multi-screen move on Windows

jEdit freezes when I move a jedit editor window over to another multi-screen. jEdit freezes completely. Window resizes and moves are still possible and also focus changes but no other UI actions; the windows content gets grey (the windows no-resonse grey-out) when any UI interaction like menu or typing is tried.

Note that my multi-screen setup is somewhat unusual as screens are not fully aligned (this is because I use a laptop and two bigger screens left and right; see screenshot below).

This bug is inconvenient because I can't move jedit windows on another screen but otherwise OK as I don't use this feature often. Interestingly I seem to remember that this probably worked some time before but I can't say when. Maybe before my update to 5.0.0. I tried updating jEdit to 5.3.0 but that didn't help.

By the way: Great work!

Here the data:

note the vertical displacement of the screens (not visible to well because some black is just background left and right of the image)

Try updating to the latest version of Java, and also make sure you have the latest version of your video card driver installed.
This is unlikely to be something that can be fixed in jEdit.
