Moneydance locks up

My Moneydance began locking up today. When I enter into the register for my checking account and try to edit a transaction, when I get to the Category field and double-click on the " - # splits" that shows the present number of splits, the application locks up and beeps each time I try to click on that field, or any other place in the Moneydance application.

I recently upgraded to the latest version (and am up-to-date), but it is not the new version that is causing the problem, because it was working fine for some time before this problem cropped up.

I have restored from a backup (from before this problem manifested) into a new account set. I have done this multiple times, but the same problem exists no matter how many times I create a new account set.

HELP!

    If you are using windows when this happens try using the key sequence ALT SPACEBAR M then try repeatedly using the arrow keys, and probably the left arrow, to see if the split transaction window comes into view.

    Hi Jay,

    I can see you’ve received a reply from one of our knowledgeable Moneydance customers. As an alternative to this useful tip, you could apply this Toolbox fix:

    Firstly, you should navigate to Extensions->Manage Extensions and install the Toolbox (v.1057)

    Launch the Toolbox and select Update Mode

    Finally choose Menu: General Tools. Update Functions-> Reset Window Display Settings and restart Moneydance!

    I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.

    Thanks a million to both of you. I never thought about the possibility that there was a screen "off-screen". Problem solved!
