Managing missing windows after using multiple displays

Managing missing windows after using multiple displays
Keep in mind that windows may still appear to be out of sight after being rearranged this way since the system may wedge them in a corner or against the edge of the screen with only a few pixels of the window showing. Additionally, the Dock may be covering a window if it was placed under it during the automatic rearrangement, so try hiding the Dock to expose an area of the window for movement.Finally, as one additional option you can use Expose and Spaces to locate and move "lost" windows to a working desktop area. Invoke spaces and activate Expose at the same time, and you should see all open windows on all available desktops, and be able to drag any from one desktop to another. If an extended desktop is being used even though a monitor is not active or connected, then you can use this to locate windows on that desktop and move them where you can use them.Update: While a "Gather Windows" button may be available in the system preferences for multiple-monitor setups, if windows are missing and the system does not detect multiple monitors attached then this option will not be available. Nevertheless, if it is present then it should also help locate missing windows.Questions? Comments? Post them below or e-mail us!Be sure to check us out on Twitter and the CNET Mac forums.
