This is indeed a problem with OS X and, for me, is a much more common problem
with pgadmin3 than with any other application. However, I personally no longer
seem to have this problem.
I'm not a developer of pgadmin, hopefully one will chime in. From my limited
knowledge and fuzzy memory, here are two things to try:
1) find your pgadmin preferences file and delete it. It contains the connection
information to your databases, so you might want to copy that information to
the new one that gets created. Note that I don't think uninstalling now and
reinstalling pgadmin will reset your preference file.
2) changing screen resolution to fix it each time it happens. This is easier
and more reliable than unplugging the monitor.
