Question

Reader Window won't move with right-click+Move command

When a Windows application opens off-screen, mousing over the open window in the toolbar, right-clicking and choosing Move should allow you to relocate the window using the arrow keys. Normally touching an arrow key and then moving your cursor shows the window now attached to the cursor and you can drop it on your active screen. Adobe Reader does not follow this behavior, instead passing the arrow key presses into the open document. Of all my Windows programs, only Adobe Reader fails to follow this Windows standard and it forces me to reconnect the monitor in order to interact with the open window. This is a Windows standard function. Can Adobe Reader be fixed to follow this standard procedure?

Thanks, I guess. I blame Adobe for poor brand differentiation. Acrobat Reader DC installs an icon on my desktop called "Adobe Acrobat", so it's difficult to know where to post in the forums.
