Eric,
I am not able to completely reproduce this (Mac OS 10.10.2, Macbook Pro 15”,
Mid-2014), but I did notice that on the one display I could not position the
Jmol app higher than a certain point. If I tried to move the app to the top of
the screen, it would just move it about half-way down. I’m wondering if your
computer is doing the same thing, but moving it completely off the screen.
I was able to modify this behavior by changing the “arrangement” of the screens
using the Displays Preferences under System Preferences. Maybe the app is
positioning itself based on information about the main screen, even though it
has been moved to a secondary display.

This reports what I think is a bug in Mac Yosemite vis a vis the Jmol
application (and perhaps any Java application).
A few days ago I upgraded from Mac OS 10.10.1 to 10.10.2 (current version of
Yosemite). The Jmol application has a new behavior. When I drag its main window
from my laptop screen into an external flatscreen (both desktops active), it
vanishes. "Mission control" (showing all open apps and desktops) shows the Jmol
windows but I can't get them into a working desktop, so I can't use Jmol. If
you close Jmol and re-open it, it auto-vanishes.
No other application I have used has this behavior, but Jmol is the only java
app I'm using.
The only way I've found to use the Jmol app:
1. Unplug my external flatscreen, and Jmol returns to my laptop screen.
2. I can plug my external flatscreen in again as long as I don't drag Jmol into
it. I must use the Jmol app only in my laptop screen.
(New 15" MacBook Pro, shipped end of December 2014.)
Comments? Confirmation? Insights?
