Yes, Bill, it seems to be something like that. A day or two ago -
earlier in the same
session - the dialogue window became very wide, wider than the real
screen, and
wasn't easy to use, as one needed to move it left and right to enter a
search string
and then press the find button, so your hypothesis is likely right.
Later, I couldn't find the dialogue, presumably when x became
negative. So I closed
the session and altered the coordinates in winpos.dat to sensible
values. FiF was fine
in the new session.
Let's hope it remains a rare occurrence; it's useful to know how to
correct the
coords, even if one doesn't quite know why they got messed up!
So - no problem for now, just a warning to other (Windows) users.
Thanks,
Mike

This problem has just re-surfaced for me, J806 under Windows 10,

Today's inaccessible fif has
Fif=-1383 154 2394 529

Difficult to say what caused it, as I tend to keep J sessions going until
they
fail for some reason.
I'll try to reset the values to something reasonable, and report back if
the
problem persists.
Thanks,

Obviously Fif has the same bug as Fiw had:
My winpos.dat looked like
Fiw=792 259 938 109
...
Fif=-2053 282 1924 350 NB. also a negative value
so it seems obvious the window was invisible.
After copying the Fiw-value in Fif, it worked fine.
Thanks very much.

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] find in files window inaccessible
I posted around 14/9/14 about a missing find window.
My problem was with find in window, so the following
might not be relevant.
Greg Heil had commented; I replied:
<<Thanks Greg - .... I looked
in regedit but found nothing relevant there. Then I had a
brainwave, looked in ~user/configqt and found a J file
called winpos.dat.
This looked very fishy:
Fiw=-22947 378 65517 122
compared to
Fif=55 108 960 529
!
So I changed the Fiw values to something more sensible,
and my missing Find window reappeared.
This suggests a question - can one configure maximum
(and minimum) allowed values for these parameters?
Presumably the error was inadvertently caused by a
huge search term going in the "search for" field.

Fif might be relevant to your problem.
Good luck!
