Resize Window Outside Screen Bounds?

Question

Running Ae 25 on MacOS 15.1. I'm using a custom dual screen workspace in After Effects, and upon launch, my secondary window is outside the bounds of my screen, i.e. I can't grab the edges of the window to resize it properly. (See attached screenshot; entire screen is shown.)

Running Mission Control makes the window disappear because it's the secondary window. I use the app Magnet to automatically resize windows, but it too is nonfunctional on this window. 🙃

How can I resize this window to the proper size?

Discovered a workaround:Set the monitor with the problematic window to a lower resolution; the window will automatically resize to fit the new resolution. From there, drag the resized window onto your other monitor; it will be very small. Then, change the resolution of the first monitor back to normal. Finally, drag the small window back to the monitor which is now back to its proper resolution and resize to your liking. Not a very elegant solution, so I want to leave this open to see if anyone else knows a better remedy.
