Thanks for the report. I only have a windows 7 on a virtual machine with two screens where I am not able to reproduce this (with a recent 6.1.0 version and a build from the default branch). Does the issue still occur with a 6.1.0 or 6.2.0 version of octave?

Shift-click on the taskbar icon allows me to get it back.

If I unplug my laptop from the dock (with two displays), then the Octave GUI disappears and I can't get to it.  If I close Octave and re-open it, the GUI "reappears" off screen and is inaccessible.  Only when it was located most recently on the secondary display.  Workaround is to make sure it is on the primary display before unplugging dock.

Possibly related problem: when I open the GUI on the laptop (and it appears on the laptop display). the bar at the top is off the screen and I can't move the GUI window.  Workaround: if I enlarge the window, I can just grab a sliver of it and move it.
