Podcast Info Window stuck 1/2 Off Screen

I hit the info button for a podcast and it got moved slightly off screen at the top of my monitor and now I can't get to the red button on the upper left of the window to close it. Now it is stuck in front of all other application windows unless I quit iTunes. Please help.

I did a restart and opened iTunes and the troublesome info window was gone. However when I clicked on the info button it appeared in the same spot half offscreen again.

But, this time I was able to click and grab the bottom of the info window and pull it down, resize it smaller, repeating these two steps until I got it to where I could click on the red dot to get rid of it.

I figured I would post the solution, (even though I solved my own problem), just in case others encounter it and search the message boards for an answer.

Thank you so much, Paul, for posting the solution that you found. As a new Mac user also new to iTunes (former PC Media Monkey/Anapod user) I have become quite frustrated with trying to decipher how iTunes manages podcasts and how to change the info so that the smart playlist recognizes what I want it to contain. I spend countless hours searching through posts. Quite a few posts will address the problems I also face but they either have no response or reply, "I found it!" This does nothing to assist those of us struggling with the same problem. I greatly appreciate those of you who are thoughtful enough to come back and post the solution. Thanks again, Sandi MacD

There is also another way to fix this that worked for me. Try changing the display settings in system preferences to a different resolution. When you change to a smaller resolution it allows you to resize the window and have access to the close button. This works when the window crosses both the top and the bottom of the screen and it is impossible to resize. Hope it helps someone in the future. Cheers.
