Hi! I continued searching for answers to the window-behind-menubar problem and noticed that it had come up previously on may 5, 2011 ([Jalview-discuss] Alignment window beyond top of Jalview window). The solution was posted by Jim Procter:
It is a bug - and seems to be a problem with the way that OSX's java implementation fails to handle interior menu bars properly. http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-368 is the most recent iteration of it. From the bug report, you can see there is a workaround: A colleague - Richard Bickerton found that if you use X, followed by G, to expand and then collect all the views on the alignment (after first creating another view with control-T if you don't have one), then all the windows should get placed within the visible region of the desktop again. Since I´m using a mac (MacOS x 10.6) i was able to creat a new view using the option key + T, although using X and G to expand and then gather the views was useless (a Mac-specific bug?). Fortunately, the menu bar on my alignment window was still visible, so I was able to expand the views using the View menu, which brought the windows to the middle of the desktop, where I could close the new view window and resize and replace the original one to my heart's content. I'm sorry I hadn't read the discussion archives carefully enough before posting my previous message!
