Bug Description
The JEDIT program runs extremely well, but it does cause an icon to be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen, just under the task bar. This icon is created and "fixed positioned" at that location anytime that JEDIT is running, regardless of where the actual jedit program window is positioned. (I, have a dual monitor setup, and it always is positioned at the point on screen 1, even if the app was started or moved to screen 2.)
This extra icon covers up the close icon of what ever application is really positioned at the
top left of screen 1.
The icon does nothing, except prevent you from clicking on the "close icon" that is just below it. PLEASE NOTE this icon is NOT positioned over JEDIT's close icon, unless JEDIT's window just happens to be position at the top left.
It is possible to move the covered up application's window just down, or just to the right so the covered-up close icon is now visible. You can now close that app...
It has occurred to be that the JEDIT designer who added this "feature" meant to make it harder to close JEDIT in error, and that they only had a"small screen"...
If this is what was desired, then the icon should have been position over the top left corner of JEDIT's window, rather than the Monitors screen.

Is there anybody available to look at this?
I am not a JAVA programmer, or I would look myself.
This is really causing me productivity issues, as I cannot close applications without first moving opens around.
environment is:
jedit 5.3.0+dfsg-1

Thanks!
