Bug description:
On multi-monitor setup, as reported by multiple people and including
me - some (seems randomly selected) windows appear off the screen(s).
This happens permanently with these selected apps. It seems that Java
apps are affected the most.

http://superuser.com/questions/53585/how-to-move-windows-that-open-up-offscreen
the bug is very ancient and several methods to move window back to
screen exist:
after gaining focus (either by clicking launchpad icon, or super-tab'ing or
whatever)
- pressing ALT-Tab to get window drop-down menu and selecting "maximize" or
"move" helps to fix the issue
- pressing ALT-F7-ArrowKey also can help by moving window around
