On the hidden window problem. Alternate solution for Windows
I see it when taking my work laptop home.
Work – 2K laptop, 4K monitor, 2K vertical monitor
Home – 2K laptop, 2K vertical monitor
Things from the 4K monitor move to the laptop at home, frequently with the top cut off.
Grab the bottom edge and pull to bottom of screen.
That brings the top onto the screen.
Grab an upper corner or edge and resize the window.
Sirens of Titans was my first Vonnegut book. I read it in 69.. Rented a tent.
