'Create Object' dialogue box is sneaking away...

[SergeantBiscuits]

Hey fellas, here's a dumb question (and probably more of a Windows 7 issue than a MMF2...)

I'm using MMF2 HWA R251. When I go to create an object, the position dialogue box appears to have crept up the screen (I didn't pay it much attention) until I now can't access the top bar to drag it back down onto the screen... oops.

See it right here?.................vvv


I believe it creeps upward a few pixels each time I try to position a newly-created object, so I'm afraid to do it any more times for fear of the dialogue box completely disappearing.

Anyone know how to reel it back in?

Thanks a lot,

Wes

Update; I was able to retrieve the window by lowering the resolution of my monitor way down (to squeeze the window back onto the monitor), putting the window in a safe place, and cranking my resolution back up.

I guess that works, but is there an easier way in case it happens again?

For most offscreen windows, you can press alt+space, then just m, then move the window to where you want it with the arrow keys and press enter. You can also do: alt+space, m, any arrow key, then move the mouse to where you want the window and click.

It's actually the old shortcut keys for moving a window about from before mice! Windows can still be entirely operated with a keyboard if you know how!
