I missed the beginning of this thread, but I assume that you
mean its edges are off the visible screen so you can't use
the mouse to grab the frame and resize it? If so, and if
you're on Windows, you can resize with the keyboard:
Alt-Space S will put you in Sizing mode; then use the
cursor keys to move the edges in and out. Alternatively,
Alt -Space M will put the window in Moving mode and, again,
the cursor keys can be used to bring a corner into view
and into range of the mouse.
