Fix JetBrains IDE graphic bug where menu windows are displayed across multiple monitors

Many IDEs from JetBrains have this annoying graphic bug (IntelliJ & PyCharm, and probably WebStorm / PhpStorm too): while on dual screens, when you open menu or right click somewhere, if it's close to the edge of the screen, and there is another monitor next to it, the window is displayed across both screens and is very poorly readable.

enter image description here

I have been dealing with that issue forever but I forgot how to fix it. I always struggle to find the answer and I can't find it again this time, so I'm creating this question for posterity. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

This is the IDEA-157583 issue. Unfortunately there is no known reliable workaround. The issue has some workarounds that help some users e.g. see one, two, three. See also other comments in that thread or in linked issues.
