Dialog box offscreen: FIXED
« on: August 25, 2023, 07:06:04 pm »
The Find and Replace dialog box has gone offscreen and I don't know how to get it back.  Can anyone help?

If this is windows, presss Alt+Space, then M.  Then move with cursor keys until it appears.  You may be able to move the mouse to make it appear.

Doesn't seem to work.  With other boxes, the cursor snaps to the title bar of the box and moves with the box.  With the Search and Replace box, the cursor doesn't move from where it was when the box was opened.

This may be because it is a tool window.  Let me see what I can figure out.

This is happening in the beta as well.  Perhaps a saved configuration issue?  I've attached my exported options in case that helps.
