Main Window shows up offscreen when Monitor is unplugged or screen size changes

[nardbagel]

When I open up brackets after having an external monitor connected and close it after the monitor has been disconnected, the next time I open Brackets, I can't get to the window, even after plugging the same monitor in again.

Should always open on my main desktop window.

Yep, came here to add this as well. If Brackets was open on another monitor that is no longer connected, it starts up offscreen. Windows 8.1 x64 with Brackets 0.44.

This sounds pretty bad, I think we should target this for the next release (1.1), adding a needs review to discuss.

You can do ctrl+m I think and the brackets window will move with the cursor.

On WIndows the way to rescue the offscreen window is to make sure Brackets has focus and isn't minimized, then it's Alt+Space and M, then it'll move with the cursor.

Thanks, that was it.

You can delete this key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Brackets\Window Position

and restart and Brackets will show up on the primary monitor.
