Dialogue Boxes appear mostly off screen

[EvanLNorthCoast]

Premiere (13.1)

Whenever I create a dialogue box to label a subclip (⌘+U), the box pops up nearly off screen. (See below)

This is something I do quite often, and it is frustrating to have to drag this box over every time I create a new subclip.

Deleting my Premiere preferences or uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere does not solve the problem.

Any ideas how to reposition a dialogue pop up box?

Has anyone else experienced this? The problem seemed to have solved itself after I switched to a Windows-based work station. However, today (2/13/20), out of nowhere, this issue started happening again.

Here are a few things to try:

Thanks for the recommendations, but these don't apply to my situation. It's not the application window that's the problem. It's only when I Ctrl+U to create a subclip window. As I said, until today, that pop-up window would appear perfectly in the middle of my monitor. Now, it pops up half off the screen.

I know it's not the application window, but I've had the same thing happen with dialog boxes too. In my case, the system was originally hooked up to an external monitor and still thought it was. I also found that when I make changes with my program maximized, the system didn't "remember" the changes. I un-maximized and made the changes, quit, restart, and it was better.

Again, thanks for the suggestions but none of that worked for me. There was a Windows update yesterday that may have affected this. Taking advice from other forums with this same issue has also warranted no results for me. It seems to be a bug or something that was thrown off by the recent Windows update.

I have even deleted all of my preference files, my layout files, and uninstalled/reinstalled Premiere. Issue remains.

Again, to be clear, I have not had this issue for the entire time I've been using my Windows workstation. Yesterday, it just started happening seemingly out of no where.

Happened to me recently and discovered there's no answers across the multiple threads about this recurring problem BUT solved it and here's the easy fix!

1. Just search for the Adobe folder "DVADialogPrefs"
2. Make a copy of it on your desktop as a safety backup
3. Then delete the xml file inside the original folder: DVADialogPrefs.xml

This should restore your popups to default to center screen.

You can find it manually on your hard drive this way:
