Open dialogue box invisible or off the screen
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 5 March, 2005 - 19:43
I'm running JEdit 4.2 under WindowsXP on a IBM ThinkPAD laptop (T-42p). I go between two envronments, working with two monitors (my laptop screen plus an attached LCD), and just working with one monitor (my laptop screen).

Recently when I am working with one monitor, JEdit's Open dialogue box is off the screen, invisible, or hidden. When I click on Open it effectly freezes my JEdit environment until I ALT+F4 (close) the invisible open dialogue box.

How can I adjust the open dialogue box so that it's always visable?

I have this problem as well and this is how I solved it:

play aroud with the window when you can see it and try to get to the windows 'move' command. generally you can do this by hitting 'Alt' then the down arrow. Although sometimes you have to hit left first and/or down more than once, depending on the windows set up. Once you get to move, hit enter and you can use the arrow keys to move the window. Now, remeber the sequence, and when you lose the window simply move it left or right, depending on your setup, until you find it again.

alternatively, I find that setting the second monitor to attached then unattached will sometimes work as well.
