Bug: Find/Replace dialog + 2 LCDs + different resolutions ?

Bug report:

The Replace or Find dialogs on TextPad Version 6.1.3 are unreachable on low resolution monitors if they were previously set on a high resolution monitor to a position outside of the low resolution, e.g. TP on notebook with external LCD (1920X1200) and internal LCD (1366X768): If I open TP maximized on the big LCD and move the Find/Replace dialog to the upper right position and then close TP and disconnect the notebook from the big LCD then I cannot reach the Find/Replace dialogs from the small notebook LCD; the dialogs are there because the focus gets set on them, but there is no way to get them back into the visible window area.

I did not have this problem with TP 4.7.3.

Could you please fix this small but annoying issue soon?
Basically it has to be checked if the dialog position is within the visible area else just put it e.g. centered in the new view.

This is a long-standing issue that Helios has never seen fit to address. See this thread for a way to get the dialog back on the screen.

@ak47wong: Thank you very much for your fast answer.

Unfortunately the issue is appearing all the time in a use case of a notebook with a docking station and external high resolution LCD.

Previously I was using happily TP 4.X for many years, but this is the first thing that bothered me so much to report it in the forum.
