Or, maybe just general computer nerds? Chrome pulled a strange one on me today, just out of the blue. I opened it, and the browser window is way over on the left hand side of my screen, and I cannot drag it back over to the right. I can shift it up, down, and left, but only about a half-inch to the right. I can open another window, and it just opens in the same spot. I've closed and re-opened, re-booted, even did a hard reboot. Nothing. Here's what it looks like ...

Try this
  1. Open the Google Chrome browser.
  2. Now press Alt + Spacebar keys together, then with mouse select Move from the menu that appears.
  3. Now tap your left or right Arrow key to move the browser to a position you like.

You can click and drag the edge you can see to make it wider then get to the rest of it to move each edge where you want it. The other option is with it highlighted or selected, hit alt, m then space bar then use the arrow keys to move the whole window.
Or alt and spacebar then m then arrow keys. I will test it in a few.

YEP, That worked! Thank you very much, sir!

Thank you, sir! It wouldn't let me drag to the right at all! But, Catt57's method worked to a "T"!

Thanks, again, to OSA!

Glad to hear it. User IT support is what I do for a living. In fact I copied that directly from some notes I had on hand. :hey3:
