[Jprogramming] find in files window inaccessible

['Mike Day' via Programming]

This problem has just re-surfaced for me,  J806 under Windows 10,
details below.

Today's inaccessible fif has
Fif=-1383 154 2394 529
in the configqt file,  winpos.dat

Difficult to say what caused it,  as I tend to keep J sessions going 
until they
fail for some reason.

I'll try to reset the values to something reasonable,  and report back 
if the
problem persists.

Thanks,
Mike
