Application window is to large to fit on screen

Where do you ask a general question in this forum? A question such as the following: A browser window (I am using minefield) opens and it is larger than the screen. The top bar for some reason is where it can't be seen so it can't be moved. Using the ALT key with the mouse button focused somewhere on the window as can be done with other Linux distros does not work with Tiny Core . I wouldn't expect there to be something like this but maybe there is something like this trick for Tiny? It's seems a small thing but it is very inconvenient. I don't know why but suddenly the windows will just re-size to the proper size sometime long after I have given up on trying to move them. Perhaps installing the video drivers would "fix" this but I don't want to really. And this shouldn't happen anyway. Oh and hello hello hello.

             [EDIT by Rich]:Changed the subject heading from "Question" to something more meaningful.

Hi moniker1
Welcome to the form. If a window is larger than the desktop, try  Ctrl-Alt-M  a couple of times.

moniker1:
Hello there. I'll do that. I am presently trying to get it to repeat this problem so I can try it out. Things like this only happen when you don't want them to and when you aren't prepared to handle them. Must be some law of the Pessimistic Universe or something like that. Well thanks.

moniker1:
Yes, CTRL ALT M works at unfreezing these pages. Thanks again.

Hi moniker1
Your welcome. In the future, please try to word the subject line to describe your question better, no
more than 80 characters. I took the liberty of changing this one for you, hope you don't mind.
