Bug Description
The dialog windows (e.g., the File menu) will often open behind the Audacity window or behind windows from other programs. It can be quite a challenge to get to a menu. For example, if you activate the file menu either with the mouse or keyboard, you cannot select "Exit". For a separate window such as the "Effect > Amplify..." dialog, you can find it underneath other windows, but this can be quite tedious.
It's an intermittent problem, and I don't know what triggers it. The only partial workaround I have found is to place the Audacity window at the bottom of the monitor, mostly off screen. This will often force dialogs to open where they can be seen. This is not very practical, since it interferes with viewing the sound file.

This has not happened for a long time. It seems to have been fixed somehow.
I would close it if I could. It's not Invalid. I can't mark it Fix Released. It should be marked Works for Me, but that option doesn't seem to be available.
