Window display issues in Mavericks after wake from sleep

All same here.

Also noticed that the problem is affecting open windows in Windows (7) that are running in VMWare Fusion. Can not offer solution though.

MacBook Pro 7,1

NVIDIA GeForce 320M

I have the same problem with a Mid 2013 Macbook Air (Haswell). After waking from sleep the widows are pegged to the left and compressed. I have to close the app(s) and restart, then resize the window.

Still no cure ... Meanwhile, I had another experience that may provide a clue.

I was watching a video with MPlayerX, paused it, switched to the login window and put my machine to sleep.

After waking the machine and logging in again, the video window was completely gone. Instead of restarting MPlayerX I activated Mission Control and saw the window right where I had left it. Switching back I found the window stil gone.

To me this suggest the problem may be in the window manager messing up its administration, not the applications.

I'm having the same issue, mac mini connected via HDMI to projector.

it's pretty irritating.

it happens most of the times I awake my MacMini late 2012.

I have read elsewhere a tip that proved useful to me. Instead of closing and restarting the apps with crazy windows, to change the Dock's position (left,bottom,right), seems to rearrange the windows properly.

Of course, only until it goes to sleep again... and does not work with the Dashboard that remains all messed up, which I've given up using.

I hope v. 10.0.2 fixes this very annoying bug.

vabopi,

Thanks a lot, it's really works !

That's not a solution in general but it's more usefull then closing all windows and reopening them.

I have this problem on all 3 of my Macs. I have tried both the safe reboot and Onyx suggestions, and the problem persists. I submited the following to Apple today:

I have 3 Macs, all running 10.9.1, which began to exhibit this same problem as soon as Mavericks was installed.

The problem occurs when resuming from sleep (or possibly only from hibernation). The symptom is that one or more application windows, such as from Apple Mail or Firefox, or even the Finder itself, will appear in the top left corner of the screen reduced in size to about 400w x 100h pixels, with the top bar off screen. If I try to resize the window by dragging the bottom right corner, it will only display a cursor for horizontal drag. It will not allow dragging either vertically nor diagonally.

To fix the problem, I have to restart the application, whereupon the window reverts to approximately the same size and location, but now has normal behavior.

Let's hope some one there starts paying attention!

Is this problem only using HDMI? Anyone try switching to DVI/Displayport/TB to try to resolve this? I have been waiting for a fix, figured it was coming, but I am sick of putting up with this long.

It happens to me on my 2013 MBA connected to an Apple 24" Mini Displayport Cinema Display

@jknaack It happens on iMacs as well.

Yes, it does happen to me too. 2011 iMac with 10.9.1 with HDMI connected via Thunderbolt adapter.

@rajo My iMac has *no* external display and still it happens. 😟

Yeah, after doing more research I see problems all across the board, hardware doesn't seem to matter, Mavericks is certainly the issue.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

For me the problem seemed to be invoked by Fast User Switching. The problem occurred when I switched from my "Media" user to my "Home" user. When I switched back to the "Media" user the window I was working in was at the top left and couldn't be resized or moved. After I repeated the action, switching to "Home" and then back to "Media" the window then appeared at the bottom right, but it least now it could be moved and resized.
