Menus going out of screen on two monitor setup

I have two monitors setup, here it is: http://imgur.com/9viwM5s

As you can see, I have two monitors - one on the left is my main and second on the right is additional one, working in portrait mode. On my main monitor my IDE is running. The problem is that in this setup, when I choose "File" option from the top menu of my IDE, the menu will open to the top - and will go outside of visible screen. It happens only if two screens are aligned to the bottom. Any ideas what can be done to fix this?

Okay, so this issue ONLY occurs with your IDE? I assume you're using Xorg? What window manager are you using? What file manager are you using?

Also, if I had to guess, I assume the IDE is doing this because your second monitor has a higher vertical resolution than your first one.

I'm using xorg, Gnome 3 and Gnome Files.

Yep, this one I guessed, but how to prevent this .

I think you can use xrandr to maybe do some wizardry? Can you move the IDE over to the second monitor and then use it? Check out this page:
