Why does Resolve keep opening up windows off of my screen?

Audio plugins in Fairlight, the scopes in Color. Scopes sometimes open up completely off my screen, VST plugins sometimes open up with the top half just off the screen enough to where I can't move them.

C'mon man... :?

Did you try a GUI reset?

I've seen this reported when one moves from a dual-screen setup to a single monitor.

Uli's suggestion usually clears that up.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Yeah. That does it.

Wish someone had mentioned that doing this would necessitate having to set up all my scopes settings again, etc. Trading one time-wasting, workflow-hindering issue for another.

Don't mean to be aiming my frustration at anyone commenting here - I do appreciate the help. I'm just sick of dealing with issues like this. :oops:

Resolve is great. I really love it and recommend it to all my friends looking into NLEs. At the same time, I haven't had a high-end piece of software consistently try to open windows outside the desktop space since Windows XP Service Pack 1. It's just silly.
