That looks like Windows, but it's so closely cropped it's hard to tell, and you didn't mention the operating system. If Windows, to move a dialog using just the keyboard:

  1. Hold down the ALT key.
  2. Press SPACEBAR.
  3. Press M (Move).
  4. A 4-headed arrow will appear. When it does, use your arrow keys to move the outline of the window.
  5. When you are happy with its position, press ENTER.

    Barb, unfortunately, this works for OS windows, not the panels inside the app.

    If this is indeed Windows, and you keep Taskbar at the top (like I do), you can set it to auto-hide temporarily, it might help to get it.

    Well, I'm a Mac girl but I fired up my Windows 10 Surface, winterm and it worked as I described with the Find/Change dialog box. Just click in the bottom of the dialog box to make it the active window. (In the old days, I had students routinely shoving title bars off the screen, so this was a regular part of my classes).
