I've waited for a while but there's no answer so far. Since all the people on trading floors use multiple screens. This problem may restrict the usage in the financial world. So I looked into the source code, I found it was a problem of Java ToolTipManager. I've found a quick fix. My solution doesn't need to touch the source code of JFreeChart. I'll post it to http://whwang18.googlepages.com/ as soon as I can. Please contact me at whwang18@yahoo.com if you need the solution immediately.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Indeed, this is a bug in the JDK, which is present in all versions starting from 1.4 (including the latest release builds of 1.6). The original bug report can be viewed here: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4924243
If you scroll down the bug report a bit, there is a suggested workaround, which is to pack your top-level window, then move it to (0,0) and then move it back to the original location. I am also writing financial software for multi-screen configurations and that workaround helped us alleviate the problem.
Unfortunately, little can be done on the level of JFreeChart to address this issue.

Thanks for the followup. I don't have a dual screen setup that I can check this on.
