Public bug reported:
The dialog windows (e.g., the File menu) will often open behind the
Audacity window or behind windows from other programs. It can be quite a
challenge to get to a menu. For example, if you activate the file menu
either with the mouse or keyboard, you cannot select "Exit". For a
separate window such as the "Effect > Amplify..." dialog, you can find
it underneath other windows, but this can be quite tedious.
It's an intermittent problem, and I don't know what triggers it. The
only partial workaround I have found is to place the Audacity window at
the bottom of the monitor, mostly off screen. This will often force
dialogs to open where they can be seen. This is not very practical,
since it interferes with viewing the sound file.
