I have pushed changeset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/521d4959fc42
which places the find dialog into the lower left corner of the editor. Moreover some displacements when hiding/showing the dialog are fixed.

Three monitors with different resolution aren't required; at work I have two identical ones, it happens there as well. It even happened on my single monitor (1900x1200) at home.

+1 for suggestion to center find dialog on originating pane (editor)

3 monitor setup with large screen in center as main screen, two others are smaller. Octave GUI is maximized on main (large) screen.

With the editor tab selected, press ctrl-F. Find dialog appears on the monitor to the right of the main screen, but is positioned too high so that only the bottom of the box is visible, almost useless. Since the top bar of the box isn't visible, it's impossible to grab it to drag the box down.

This is happening because the main monitor is 1200 px high but the other monitors are only 1080 px. The fix would be to v-center the find dialog box wrt the originating window, or go whole-hog and use the system functions to find the height of the monitor where the dialog box will pop up.
