[NF] Recommendations on a developer seat cushion?
OK, I realize this is a rather [NF] but list traffic is low, its summer ... and well, I'm looking for a comfortable "developer" seat cushion and appreciate the wisdom of this crowd. I know, I'm a bit embarrassed by the "developer" adjective, but trying to keep this thread somewhat on topic :) I'm looking at the ComfiLife Seat Cushion (Amazon, $35) but not excited about some of the reviews. Also overwhelmed with the number of options in this space. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014F18ZGU Suggestions?

I think I had a script that reset all screen-related settings, just in case ... :) This problem can happen to single monitor setup.

RE: Disappearing pop-up windows (like the Find window dialog in Code References, and sometimes the entire Debug window)
Hi Mike, I suspect when your laptop is open in the dock it becomes Monitor #1, and the main monitors are in the negative numbers then. Are these windows in the Screen or on the Desktop directly?

If the left or top value gets set to something negative then it won't be visible. So maybe in your screen setup somehow things are getting changed around and you are ending up with a position off the screen somewhere? If you know the debug window is the active window, you can press Alt, then left arrow, then down arrow, then "M" and you will be able to move the window with the arrow keys. That might give you a better idea of where the window is. Frank.
