Menu opens off the screen vertically?

I have a component and a button on top of the component which
opens a Menu. For some reason the flex team coded the menu so it
adjusts itself horizontally so it doesn't go off the screen from
left to right but not vertically from top to bottom. So if you open
a menu at the bottom of the screen the menu and submenu items will
run off the screen. Does anyone have a fix for this screw up? Flash
had a similar problem with their menus but seem to have fixed the
horizontal issue. I've seen several blogs but no solution so if
anyone can help I would appreciate it...

Ok, it could be two other things.
The monitor resolution could have changed. Go to System Preferences > Displays > Display tab > scroll this list of resolutions down and choose the bottom most resolution.
If that doesn't help you could have another monitor attached to extend the desktop. An additional tab (arrangement) will be present in System Preferences > Displays if that's the case.
Physically disconnect anything plugged into the mini displayport. The desktop should reset to one non-extended desktop.

Mail opens off the screen & I can't reposition it...HELP!

Has anyone had this issue and maybe can help? When I open Mail it flies off the screen to the right. It is open and all the controls on top are there, but I can't see the main screen pane. So I am not able to open Preferences or anything else than might help. If I click on Minimize in the Window dropdown I can see it fly down to the dock and likewise if I then hit Zoom it flies off to the right where I can't see it again. Any thoughts?

Why is firefox opening off the screen and to the side in Windows 7?

When I attempt to open FireFox 5 it hides off to the side and is therefore unusable. I have restarted the browser, rebooted the computer, and even reinstalled the program.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar extension
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Presentation starts 5" from the left side of screen and pushes intellegence off the screen to the right.

The top of my screen is normal: the tool bar starts "File, Edit...
The body of the screen while running Firefox-and during typing of this message- is full of lite. The actual data: starting from the top of this page- "Firefox Help... Ask a new..." etc. starts 5 1/4 inches from the left of the page.
It's as if Firefox were presenting a wider page with the presentation moved to the right. This pushes the last, normal, 5" of the presentation off the screen.
The rite end of the bar which starts out: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
is off the page, so the facilities at the rite end are lost.
Any presentation, including Amazon.com and Youtube.com are similarly pushed off the rite side of the screen by 5".
I have no access to the rite-most 5" of any internet presentation.
The sliders that move the presentation up and down and left/ rite are off the screen.
I have shrunk the display down so small, i can barely see the numbers: Control panel\ display \ settings \ 1920 by 1200. This gives the ILLUSION of centering the presentation, but still no sliders. At this setting, i can see the full width of Amazon. Youtube appears centered, with 4 1/4" on both left and rite, but no edge sliders.
I dropped the 'setting' to 1440 x 900.
Lost about 3" off the rite side of Amazon; barely on the rite edge of Youtube.
None of my local programming has a problem: Excel, pictures, videos, Word, even Internet Explorer goes full page and centered.
I un-installed Firefox and downloaded it fresh. It did NOT ask me to reboot my puter, so i didn't .
I can supply pictures (screen shots) of the phenomenon on request.

- Open Firefox -> got to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check if its working.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.

Illustrator CS6 document just scrolls right off the screen

I have opened a previously-created document in Illustrator CS6 and the document just scrolls right off the screen. I can't select anything on it; it goes right off the screen and continues scrolling off the page

Are you using full page zoom?
* View > Zoom > [] Zoom Text Only
The other suggestions are about increasing the minimum font size as set via the Preferences > content tab.
I posted that menu path in one of [/questions/923201#answer-320010 my above posts]:
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages if the text is too small and you need to increase it.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

[FIXED BUT NOT SOLVED] NVIDIA - Desktop shifted left off the screen...

Hello Community!
For a pretty long time right now, I am trying to fix the video setup of my HTPC but without success. Because I'am run out of ideas, I really need Your help.
PROBLEM:
The desktop is shifted left off the screen, round about 100 Pixel.
It started some time in the past, while upgrading a one year old Ubuntu installation (NVDIA drivers). Because I couldn't fix it and also wanted to replace Ubuntu with ArchLinux, I performed a clean ArchLinux installation.
First I used the nouveau drivers ending up with the same problem. I read an configured using xrandr and cvt, but with no success.
So I restored the system to a snapshot taken before X11 and nouveau drivers installations, thank's BTRFS, and installed the proprietary NVIDIA drivers ending up with the same problems. Again I tried all the tips and tricks found in the documentations and forums, used nvidia-xconfig, hand crafted the xorg.conf all with no success.
HARDWARE
The system is a MSI Media Live (http://www.msi.com/product/desktop/Media-Live.html)
. Support AMDR Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 and Sempron in the Socket AM2 package
. North Bridge: nVidia® C51PVG Chipset
. South Bridge: nVidia® MCP51 Chipset
. Graphics is Integrated NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6150 LE
. VGA, SCART and HDMI - Connectors
The display Problem is on VGA and HDMI now, where in the past the VGA was perfect. Therefor I connected and used the VGA port only, in all tests.
INSTALLATION HISTORY

As You can see, I installed only a minimal X11 environment for test. The lxdm display manger shows up but with very small font and shifted to the left. Only if I force a resolution of 1024x768 the image is centered on screen/tv but still the very small font. Obviously not a solution for a HTPC.
Here are the xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log of my last test configuration.

How can I shift the display to the right?
Many thanks for any hints.

Thank You Mr.Elendig!
The simplest answer often is best. After I connected a TFT display, instead of my TV, I was able to calibrate the screen output and got the desktop shifted. Knowing that, I tried the settings of my TV again. There is a hard to find option for calibration wich is set to automatic but doesn't do it. Trying to turn it of did the trick. Even the option stays on automatic and even the display format is fixed to 4:3 instead of 16:9, finaly the TV adjusted the display correctly.
None the less, the problem not to be able to shift the desktop using the screen paramters in xorg.conf remains.
Thanks

How do I recover a window that has gone off the screen ?

The upper and right hand sides of my "Adobe Elements Organizer" application window have gone permanently off my Imac screen and try as I might, I can't drag or minimize this window to centre it on my desktop as a much smaller size and thereby recover control of it.    The missing window top contains some commands I can't access and so does the missing right hand side of the application window. Have tried junking app prefs, turning off Spaces, starting and restarting the computer.   Problem does not occur in other accounts using the same app - so something is screwed up with this app's window size defaults or settings or prefs in my user account only.
anyone have any suggestions?
Deleting all the "com.adobe.elements organizer.plist" files does NOT cure my problem.   I suspect it has something to do with Mavericks' poorly tested 'multiple displays' feature -- that likely has some bugs in it.   This app window seems to think it's on a much bigger monitor than my 21.5" Imac.'   short of removing and reinstalling the app itself or getting a windows machine, I can think of nothing else to do.

Not sure I follow what you mean: When I open Mission Control, the entire troubled application window is then (hurrah !!!) visible on the Mission Control "Overview" screen - but when I c\olick in that app and I am returned to the normal operating screen, it's all cut off again. It will not let me click and hold and then drag on its lower black border; I can only resize it in the direction that pushes it further off the screen.
This app's main window remains stubbornly frozen in position - up at, and extending right off of, the top right of my screen and it does not respond to normal dragging - normal attempts to pull it down and see the lower right corner so I can resize the window by dragging its corner inward diagonally.
Can you describe what you want me to try in different words. By invoking I assume you mean opening mission control.   That I am doing and that's the only way I can see the whole window looming quite normal.   But it won;t render for me that normal way on a normal operating screen.

MacBook Pro Display (window) shifts off the screen when I move my mouse

With a slight move with my magic mouse, my entire open window will shift completely off the screen with only a part of the window still visible. I have to click on the exposed edge of the window for it to shift back into place. It's only the window of the program that I have open that moves. The dock and the desktop image stays in place. I'm using an HP external monitor now but it was doing this before I hooked up the monitor. I've tried maximizing and minimizing my window but that does not seem to have an effect. Could it be the magic mouse? Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow. The power of Google is truly amazing. Just a little while ago, my husband was going nuts with our computer. I googled the words 'when I move my mouse to the left, the screen moves to the right'. And, Eureka! What do you think was the first thing that popped up on Google?
Well, the answer to my question, of course!:P Which led me right to here. It may not have been me that asked the question, but this did answer MY question!
Apparently this applies to Leopard too. Thanks alot!

My new version of Firefox (downloaded automatically) on my Mac displays long paragraphs in emails as a single line, so the end of the paragraph is off the screen. How can I make it automatically wrap to fit the screen?

Long paragraphs in incoming emails display as a single line, with the end of the paragraph running off the screen. I want to make it wrap automatically to fit the screen.

For the browser window, just drag it to the top left of the screen (click and hold on the top bar with the traffic lights to drag), then in the bottom right of the window you'll see a rectangle with diagonal hatching. Click and hold on that and drag the window to the size you want.
Clicking on the green dot at top left will expand the window to fit the screen, clicking it again will shrink it back to where it was (this doesn't work in Finder windows quite the same).
The menu bar size is set in the bowels of the OS, though there may be third-party applications which can alter it.
As it's size is relative to the screen resolution, you could try reducing the resolution in System Preferences > Displays to see if that would suit you better.

I created thirty pages using ipages and my web manager is having difficulty placing them on my website, some change color, some slide off the screen. Is there a place for problem solving for ipages and website?

Hi, I thoroughly enjoy the ipage program and prefer it to the similar one offered by Word. But my web manager is having countless difficulties. I converted everything to PDF's for him but several of the ipages are loading with a different backround color. He says he has to meta tag each page since this cannot happen automatically. On my Mac, the pages are loading after the navigation bar is selected, and it takes about three to four seconds. On my iphone, however, each page takes at least eight seconds to load and then it slides right off the screen before it can be read. I really want to continue using ipages to update my website but I am a rookie and do not understand why each ipage cannot simply open when someone goes to my website. It would be great to do away with the loading of each page and I would like to also minimize any of my margins. Thanks for any help on this strange matter. Mary

Converting pages to pdf is not the usual way make a website. You may want to try some other app where you can directly create the html which is the customary format for the web.

Software window slid off the screen - can no longer access this software

I cannot acces my Filemaker Pro database.
When I open the database, the window has slid off the screen, only the bottom is visible.
I cannot pull it back on the desktop, I cannot see the fields.
How can I get it back on the desktop?
Comments appreciated.

Here is the area of the desktop where it is.
I also tried the "assign to" desktop trick, but "assign to" is grayed out.

Preset Preview is off the screen

Hello all,
Aperture 3.0.3 on a three-year old iMac... The problem I'm having is simple, yet goofy. The little previews of the presets are offset upwards about six inches on my screen. In other words, when I try to use a preset, the mini-preview is off the top of my screen. Only when I use the last few presets in the menu (thus the lowest) can I see the top part of the preset's preview at the very top of my monitor. (I wish I could attach a screenshot.)
Any ideas how I can fix this? It's been bothering me for months -- makes it slow for me to use presets, too, as I have to do the old-fashioned "try it, wait for the preset to process, decide I don't like it, hit undo, then try another preset..." method.

Thanks Tony!
Oh, I understand calibration... I worked as Art Director in a prepress department for 15+ years. The problem I have with calibration, and I don't particularly advertise this, is that I'm, well, I'm color-blind. I realize that's a tad odd for someone who's been in graphic design for 20+ years and is a semi-professional photographer, but I'm color-blind to red and green... Which makes calibration an adventure in frustration to say the least.
That said, I did revisit the custom calibration settings i'd made for both monitors several years ago (as you recommended) and ran through the process again (with my wife standing behind me this time), and the results are remarkably different. So I can live with Aperture in my primary monitor now, which is a good workaround to my original problem, but the problem still remains -- when I use Aperture in my secondary monitor, my little preset previews are still off the screen. Not a big problem, but an annoyance...

Imac display problem, the resolution seems to be unusual, top bar and all folders on the desktop background is off the screen

Need help with 21" imac display problem. The resolution seems to be unsual, everything on the desktop background goes off the screen. The resolution is set at 1920 x 1080

Quit the game and restart the iPad.
To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Menu opens off the screen vertically?
