    if i have two monitors - a large 24" (1920x1200) and my laptop built-in display (1280x1024). when using the large monitor, if i open the dynamic component attributes window and move it to the far right of the screen (taking advantage of the real estate) then close out SU. then open SU using only my built-in screen, and try to view the DC attributes window, it (per my desktop settings with shadows)only shows the shadow from the dialog box on the right (showing, un-showing the window has the shadow appear and disappear so the window is opening & closing, but off screen). i cannot see it nor select it to move it back to where i can see it. it seems to retain the absolute position versus a proportional/relative position.

    the normal windows (component, entity info, materials etc) all respond proportionally/relatively so if i drag them to the right and open on the smaller screen they are position and viewable on the right end of the smaller screen (as expected).

    any keyboard commands to allow me to move the window back into the viewing area? i don't have access to the larger screen at the moment.

      Without the ability to change the resolution sufficiently or use another monitor you need to change the Registry entry using Windows [Close Sketchup and do this]...
      Start > Run... > regedit
      In the regedit window find
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog_Component Attributes
      [and the WebDialog_Component Options if that's also 'foobar']
      Edit the Left and Top values - using 0 for both should move the dialog to the top left of the screen when Sketchup restarts ?Capture.PNG If you are trying to be clever and enter a numerical value remember to switch to 'decimal' as it'll display in 'hex' 😉
      Hope that helps...

        cheers! registry hacks-r-us! did the trick. i did report it as a bug to Google so hopefully this make the adjustment in the next patch or version.

        so... the Google bug people pointed me to a feature: in the preferences -> work space is a button to "reset work space"
