Dialog box is off screen

[Trackerjoe]

I'm running two monitors.  Some dialog boxes will "display" off the screen.  Sometimes the edge is visible and I can drag it into view, but some boxes are completely unavailable.  I've searched the community and it looks like there is a keyboard combination in some programs that will bring a dialog box into View.  Is there something like that in FeatureCAM?  Do I have my screens set up improperly?

I suggest that you delete the INI file that store the position of the dialogue box and many other preference in the interface.

If you want to test before deleting the original file, cut and paste the file on you desktop as a backup. Next time you will open FeatureCAM will be like the first time and you should be able to retrieve any dialogue boxes. When you will close FeatureCAM a new INI text file will be generated.

The attached video show how deleting EZFM_ui.INI text file where some preferences, CNC File paths, dialog boxes position, custom toolbar etc. are stored. This file is updated everytime you close FeatureCAM to store any change you made into the interface.

When running into interface issue, some time it could be a solution to delete it and start like it was the first time we open FeatureCAM.

Thanks Jean-Francois!  Truly appreciate your input here.  I've been fighting this ever since I installed that second monitor.  I think that is going to work perfectly.

Don't know if this is worth mentioning here, but just noticed it looks like I got credit for this solution.  It was Jean-Francois who went to the trouble to make a screencast and showed me how to solve the problem.  He should get the credit for the solution.  How do we fix that?

Hi Jean-Francois.  Thought that's what I had done!  Anyway, thanks for the help.  Problem still seems too be solved!
