Further back, it was said that this is only an issue when LiveCode
misbehaves and is a window can't be selected because it is outside the
screen.  So if true, LC should have a built-in way to recover the window,
like how Control-period stops a script. How about Control-period-click, and
the window becomes stuck to the pointer until the next click?
