Generally, if your window is off screen, your mouse cannot move to it.
Also, confirmed. I used switch between two monitors and a TV quite often and ran into the same problem. | |
Yeah, I'm having this now too since I bought my new TV and connect my laptop to it.

This should work properly now, although it will likely force the pager to initially appear on the primary monitor. Looks like DM has had this behavior all along so at least this will be consistent.

My workaround is simple I run into this a lot with various programs.
Click the byond icon so that the pager is in your task bar.
Right click the Byond in the taskbar.
Click restore
Right click it again and click move
Your mouse will jump into a position that can drag the window
Hold left click and drag that window back onto your screen for a job well done. :D
