Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Apache NetBeans 19 on Ubuntu with JDK 17, following the seven-step output-window drag sequence. Start by tracing the floating-window popup and drag/drop handling; done means dropping the popup back into its own output-window area no longer leaves the popup visible.
