Description boblang99 2011-05-05 11:52:48 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 6.9 (Build 201011082200)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.6.7 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_24
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 19.1-b02-334

Select Tools > Java Platforms and the usual modal window pops up.
Now click on Help.  The help window is partially obscured by under modal window.
No amount of mouse manipulation I can find will move the modal window so the Help page can be read. Usually, the Help window complete disappears whatever I try.

I suspect this issue may affect other modal windows on OS X.

reproducible. Would be good to target for next release. Anyway, in my case, modal window with java platform can be resized, and help window arranged next to it.

If Toolkit.isModalExclusionTypeSupported(APPLICATION_EXCLUDE) returns true but it does not actually work there is a bug in the Mac JRE; did you file it upstream?
