Can't recover offscreen windows [message #897642] |

I tried to find other posts about this issue but could not find any. At work I use a dual monitor setup. I often use the call hierarchy tool and drag it off the main window into its own window. At home I have a single monitor, and when I remote to my machine, this call hierarchy window sometimes ends up off screen. When this happens I cannot figure out how to get it back. There are various articles on the web about recovering off screen windows. However, all of the ones I have seen use the system context menu for this, and the call hierarchy window does not have one.
Does anybody know how I can get these off screen windows back onto my working area or is the only solution to kill the main window and start over?

Even though this message is 10 years old, the problem still exists.
Using Eclipse v4.22. I ran into a similar situation. The Find/Replace dialog was off screen when I connected to my dual monitor work computer via NX. No amount of fiddling could force the dialog onto my remote screen. Because it was a dialog, not a window, the OS Task Switcher could not find it.
The "Show Fast View" icon cannot be found. Probably no longer in v4.22
I opened a console to the workspace/.metadata/.plugins directory and grep'd for "Find".
The saved location of the Find dialog was stored in
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor/dialog_settings.xml
<section name="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.FindReplaceDialog_dialogBounds">
<!-- <item key="DIALOG_X_ORIGIN" value="1926"/> -->
<item key="DIALOG_X_ORIGIN" value="926"/>
<item key="DIALOG_Y_ORIGIN" value="55"/>
<item key="DIALOG_WIDTH" value="325"/>
<item key="DIALOG_HEIGHT" value="419"/>
<item key="DIALOG_FONT_NAME" value="1|Liberation Sans|9.0|0|GTK|1|"/>
</section>
I stopped Eclipse, changed the DIALOG_X_ORIGIN and restarted Eclipse. Now my Find/Replace dialog is visible - wahoo
