Bug Description
On multi-monitor setup, as reported by multiple people and including me - some (seems randomly selected) windows appear off the screen(s). This happens permanently with these selected apps. It seems that Java apps are affected the most.
see these reports:

the bug is very ancient and several methods to move window back to screen exist:
after gaining focus (either by clicking launchpad icon, or super-tab'ing or whatever)
- pressing ALT-Tab to get window drop-down menu and selecting "maximize" or "move" helps to fix the issue
- pressing ALT-F7-ArrowKey also can help by moving window around
