P: Minimize buttons disappear under upper menu bar

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

In CS6 my minimize buttons sometimes move under the upper menu bar. If they go too far under, I can't get them back. I've tried pressing F, but that does not make them reappear. I've tried checking/unchecking the various interface options under "preferences" and also uninstalling and reinstalling the app. So far, the only way I can fix the problem is to reset all of the defaults. I've noticed this only happens on my Mac using Mt Lion and/or Yosemite. I have another Mac using snow leopard, but on that machine it's not possible for the minimize buttons to go under the upper menu bar.

Hmm, I'm not able to slide that up under the menu on my system. Are you using multiple monitors? If so, how are they arranged? Any system utilities?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

As a matter of fact, I do have two monitors hooked up to this computer.

[J453]

Are they arranged one over the other?

If you disconnect the second monitor, does the window recenter itself on the main monitor?

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

The monitors are mirrored. When I disconnected one of them, the problem was solved! With only one monitor, the window can't move under the upper menu bar.
Any thoughts about how I can connect two monitors and avoid this from happening?

It looks like an offset is made when the second monitor is attached. So - if the top of the window is touching the top menu bar it gets shifted up under the menu. If you leave a gap at the top that's similar in height to the top bar, it won't go up under the menu.

If you ever get an a bad state with both monitors attached - a simpler way to get it to bounce back down to reposition it is to change the arrangement to side by side for a moment, then go back to your above/below arrangement.

Now that I know what's causing this, I'm going to play around with it. Thanks a million!

[J453]

Cool. I'll see if there's anything we can do on our side to make this better.

It's odd that PS is the only app on my machine that behaves this way when two monitors are mirrored.

[J453]

Yup. I need to look into that.

If you find out anything more or come up with a patch to fix this, I'd love to know. thanks again, DS

Updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 and having an issue where "Save As" window is above and out of the screen. I can't drag it down or even see anything above my list of files. Only happens on my second monitor, but that's where I do most of my work as it's larger. Nothing else is ever place outside of the usable screen unless I drag it there.

Jared, if this is the same problem I had....it's because you have two monitors which are mirrored.

Engineering is looking at this. Hoping it will be fixed in the next update.

[Jaredfromspace]

Monitors are not mirrored. And thanks Jeffrey!

This should be fixed in the Photoshop CC (2015) update.
