Moneydance opened off screen
I often have my email program, Thunderbird, open off screen. I see which corner or area is is opening and can grab it with cursor and pull it to the screen. Today is the first time I have had Moneydance do this. However, It does not show where it is opening to. Is there a hotkey combo that I can use to expand to full screen? Any other options? I can't even do a backup. Was considering deleting and reinstalling. Looking through my regedit I see Moneydance 1 through 6. I know I have been using for several years, but didn't realize that many updates. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Run toolbox extension. Does it warn about invalid screen locations? If so, uodate mode then fix invalid window locations button.

The key sequence ALT SPACEBAR m should allow you to use the arrow keys to move any off screen window back on screen.

I am not familiar with Toolbox extension, nor can find it in Moneydance
nor on my PC.

This helped, sort of. I was able to maximize to full screen. However,
the edges are off screen so I can't resize.

What version and operating system are you using for Moneydance?
7 Posted by Raymond Fudge on 04 Aug, 2024 12:02 PM
Ver. 2021 Windows 10

What number version? Toolbox begins working in that year:
2021.1 (build: 3056, ideally 3069+)
If in that range, Stuart's comment yesterday at 9:06am would be appropriate.

Too old. The manual fix is to quit MD and then rename config.dict.

Or given you are using 2021, you could upgrade for free to 2021.1(3069) here:

But, renaming config.dict to configx.dict might be the simplest versus starting an upgrade process and then learning how to install the Toolbox extension.

Looking at config.dict, it appears it would be easy to modify, if
someone could tell me which line to do so. Before I retired, 20 years
ago, I was a Network Admin II for a large health organization. I often
modified various config files. When I have time I may attempt upgrade.
Not today.

Did you try:
The key sequence hold down ALT press SPACEBAR release these keys then tap the m key should allow you to then use the arrow keys to move any off screen window back on screen.

All that does is get me to a full screen with all edges off screen so I
can't grab and resize to where I need.
