Yes, thanks to you, BUT:

Working for a little while now in LC 8.0 ( lc 1) it happened again:

Script editor window disappeared to location: -25162,-25296 . And this time
the preferences file was NEWLY created.

It started all well and fine. Then during work - out of a sudden - after
some script errors, the SE window disappeared and was not seen again.

In my (very simple) logic, the preferences file saves some location, and it
may be a wrong location saved from such off-screen-disappearing, but the
bug itself hides somewhere else.

I also noticed that sometimes it is not possible to even access the script
editor - even if it is in the bounds of the screen and potentially be
visible -  and my "work around" was opening another script editor and then
switching the tab of editors to the original script that I am working on.
Also then a right-click on a control such as a button will not show
anything and not allow to open a script.

Is there enough testing done on Windows?
