When I open a Maestro panel, it doesn't show up on my screen. What happened, and is there anything I can do to display it on screen?

Maestro saves the last position of each of its windows (panels or dialog boxes), so that they are placed where you want in subsequent sessions. If you start Maestro with a different number of attached screens or a reduced screen resolution, a window can be placed outside your current viewing area.

You can use Window → Cascade (ALT+O C) to make all the open windows visible in your current screen configuration. If this does not bring the panel or dialog box of interest onto the screen, you can quit Maestro, then edit the layout.res file in your profile directory (Suite 2012 on) or your user resources directory (earlier releases) and change the x and y coordinates for the windows that are not shown, or remove this file to restore all panels to their default locations. You can then restart Maestro.

(The user resources directory is $HOME/.schrodinger/maestroNN on Linux and Mac, and %APPDATA%\Schrodinger\maestroNN on Windows. The profile directory is under the profile subdirectory of the user resources directory.)
