Moving window in Mozilla...

[TheGreatPoo]

So I was working in Mozilla 1.2.1 (on a Mac OS 9.1) and had to read something on a picture that was small.  So I chaanged my screen resolution from 1024 X 768 to 800 X 600 to read it.  After I was done, I changed the resolution back but the window had moved up and the title bar is above the menu bar.  I can't move the window!  Half the window is hidden above the menu bar and I can't change it.  I tried quiting Mozilla and restarted it.  I tried tossing the prefs in the trash and restart to no avail.  I can't drag the edges of the Mozilla window like I can a normal window.  How in the hell can I drag the window back down into the main area of the screen?

BTW, a little off topic but to those of you who own Macs with the older OS (non OSX), what is the key combination to take a picture of the desktop?

Thanx to anyone who can help me solve this really retarted problem.

Try to delete the file "prefs.js" and see what hapens.

Can you not just maximise the window, then you will be able to have it the right size?

or

Go back to 800x600 make the mozilla window small and drag it to the bottom , then change back to 1024x768

I doubt this works on a Mac but on Linux and Windows you can press "ALT"+"SPACEBAR" to bring up the menu with the resize/move menu on the title bar. Maybe a similar key combo works on the Mac.

Apple+shift+3 takes screenshots in both OSX and Classic.

As for the Mozilla window error, have you tried switching back to the resolution where it worked, then seing if you could drag it bellow the menu bar?

Also, how come you can't drag the window edges?

[TheGreatPoo]

When I resized the screen resolution the first time, the title bar disappeared above the menu bar but I didn't think much of it because it usually moves back to it's original position when I restore the screen resolution.  This time when I restored the resolution, the window just stayed up there.  I have also tried going back to the resolution where it screwed up but to no avail.

Unfortunately, mozilla has it's own window.  Meaning, it's not like the normal Mac window.  On a normal Macintosh window, I can just grab the edge of it and move it where ever I want.  This Mozilla window does not have that ability.

I can post a screen shot (thanx Psyjax!    ) of what the window looks like but I don't know how to host it so that it appears on this message board.

BTW, thanx for the help so far guys!  I hope that I can resolve this because I really don't feel like deleting Mozilla and reinstalling it and then rebookmarking all of my pages again.  Thanx.

Ive had that problem
Click the taskbar and right click the program button
and select the MOVE menu command.

Then hit TAB and it will automaticly move to the
mouse on 9x/ME. XP Seems different though.

If it comes to worse, write a program that finds
the window and moves the client rect's top
and left to 1. (0 is defaulted but it might work)

Um, Anphanax, did you read my first post?  I am using a Macintosh with OS 9.1.  Not Winblows.

X11:   :confused:  

How do I get a pic on this site?  I would like to show you all exactly what the problem is.

I guess I am going to have to reinstall.      :mad:

PHEW!  I figured it out.  I had to switch desktop themes.  The theme I was using only allowed me to move the window by the title bar.  Ok.  Well, I'm glad I can use Mozilla again (I was getting really sick of Netscape 4.6).

windows users find it hard to tell the difference. be nice to them, they can't help it.

as for this maroon calling himself calum, don't be surprised if all eleven of his posts disappear in the next five minutes.

my patience with this boring discussion board is coming to an end.
