Hello!

I'm a member of the UI team in JetBrains IntelliJ department, and we have this bug with popup menus being shown on the wrong monitor in multi-monitor environments:

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-5824/Dual-monitor-bug-on-the-context-menu

I managed to track it down to this JDK bug:

https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-6415065

I've described the cause and the fix in the commit message, but in short, what happens here is that `JMenu.getPopupMenuOrigin` sometimes returns coordinates outside (usually above) of the current screen, and later `JPopupMenu.adjustPopupLocationToFitScreen` uses those coordinates to fit the entire popup menu into the screen, which goes wrong because at that point it's no longer known which screen the menu was initially invoked on.

I've fixed this by making sure the Y coordinate is still within the correct screen when it's returned from `JMenu.getPopupMenuOrigin`.
