RSA SecurID app window lost using multiple monitors - problem and solution
I was using Mavericks with the RSA SecurID app at home with my external monitor, then brought the laptop (Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011) into work where there is a thunderbolt display. The RSA SecurID app was not visible although I could see that it was running by examining the dock and also Mission Control. I just coulnd't get it to come onto a display where I could use it.
Failed attempts to recover the window:
- This app does not have the Window choice in its menu (it's a quick and dirty port from Windows) so I can't do Window->Zoom.
- Digging around in plist files was not too helpful.
- Resizing either of my displays was not helpful.
I finally hit upon the solution of temporarily selecting Mirrored Displays (Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement). This did enough internal reconfiguring of the geometry that the application window became visible, and I was able to grab it at move it to a more central location on the built-in display of the laptop.
I post this problem and solution here in case anyone finds it useful, as I have often benefitted from such posts in the past.
