I too am using scaleFactor and ran into this issue of the difficulty of windows moving around and even off screen. It seems that when scaleFactor is invoked the entire screen is now virtual and calculations have to be made to position the window where you want it to be visually. Unfortunately, those exact calculations were beyond me at the time I implemented scaleFactor, so my windows do still move somewhat. But if someone else has a method/formula for window placement I too would be interested.
