Search and replace window not following main window.

Question

When Studio 2015 was open on second monitor and I was going to use only the laptop, I moved the program window to the laptop screen. But when I then tried to use Find & Replace, I noticed the window opened on the desktop for the second monitor, which was at home. So during my travel I could not use Find & Replace. Restarting did not help. This is a very stupid bug. Studio does not remember where it was open last time, but always opens on the primary screen, version 2014 was better in that respect.

Hi Walter, 
 
This procedure works for me in Windows 10: 
 
Press CTRL+F in Studio to activate the Search&Replace window, press ALT+TAB to select the Search&Replace miniature, release ALT+TAB keys, then press ALT+SPACE, press the hotkey to move any window (probably “M”, but dependes on the language of Windows operating system; if you pressed the right key, the mouse cursor will change to the big cross shown in Noras‘ link). Finally, keep pressing the LEFT or RIGHT keys until the Search&Replace window appears on your screen (it shouldn’t take more than 10 seconds to come up, otherwise you know you‘re moving the window in the opposite direction).

HI, 
we had exactly this problem yesterday with windows 10. 
To get the move menu, you can: 
go over the programm icon in the task bar, without clicking. The programm windows will appear in miniature - in our context, the Studio windows and the find/replace window. Then right click on the find/replace window and you see the context menu. Click move, press the arrow key and move the mouse as described in Nora's link. 
Better this way? 
 
Kind regards 
Sébastien

I think this problem is not exclusive to Studio, and it can be very frustrating. Luckily there's a simple solution, described here: www.howtogeek.com/.../

Hello Heinrich, 
 
I'm not sure how to reproduce this problem. I messed around a bit with 2014 and 2015 but both seem to behave the same way. Does this happen if you move locations while Studio is still running or if you close it and reopen after moving to a new location?
