Adobe Animate tab won't move from bottom of the screen.

[Ansel5CEA]

Whenever I open animate, it loads normally with the loading screen in the middle of the screen; however, when it opens, it is located at the bottom of the screen so only the very top of the tab is visible, and it won't let me move it around the screen or go fullscreen. It makes a beep sound that indicates an error whenever i click on it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application and it hasn't worked. All of the other adobe applications work and move normally i dont know why this is a problem with Animate.

Are there any suggestions for how to fix this? Animate has been up to date and this problem has been occuring for months through multiple updates, and hasn't been resolved.

Have you tried restarting your machine?

windows or mac?

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall?

Maybe the ESC key?

I have restarted my mac a few times and reinstalling, but somehow hitting esc fixed the problem, thank you!

Cancel Adobe Animate please. I spent hours woking on something and then this exact same thing happened. I still cant fix it. And I have deadlines. Sorry for the rant but this is very annoying.
