If you only have one screen, have you tried changing the resolution to a higher one temporarily?

Hi Tomas, yes I did think of that, and no, I just have 1 screen, I'll check the resolution, I know what you mean about dragging the dialogue box to the corner or something, good suggestion, thanks!!

Kilgray support provided a solution Jun 25, 2019

Hello, for info, here is the solution from Kilgray, their support is great!

You can reset your user interface by the following steps:
- Close memoQ.
- Open the C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\MemoQ folder. This is a hidden folder by default, you need to enable the "Show hidden files and folders" option in Windows.
- Delete the: DockLayoutConfigs.bin; Preferences-editor.xml; Preferences-layout.xml; Preferences-lookup.xml files.
- Start memoQ.
