child windows off the screen

Post by metamind »

Hi,

I am using multiple monitors and have changed my screen configuration. Now some of my child windows such as "search results" are off the screen. I can't get them back on because the top bar, which you would usually use to move the window, is off the screen and can't be clicked on. I have tried alt + space but that brings up the menu for the main textpad window.

What should I do.

Thanks.

Can you change that monitor to a higher resolution so you can see the window, then drag it closer to 0,0 and set resolution back to normal again?
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob

Did you try Alt+Hyphen? That opens the system menu for the child window.

Thanks for that. Yup, I ended up changing the monitor configuration so I could get hold of the window and move it.

Just tried the Alt+Hyphen ( = Alt+minus_sign (?)) in case there are any more child screens that don't want to behave. It didn't seem to work though.
