Polac VST window is off-screen and unclickable - any fix?

Through a combination of mouse-spazzery and sheer ingenuity, I managed to drag a VST window (the actual GUI) off-screen and double-click it (which minimizes the window) in nearly the same motion.

Now when I try opening that machine, all I get is a tiny sliver of the border shadow - not enough to actually double-click and restore the machine to full-size.

I'm at the highest possible resolution already, otherwise I'm pretty sure I could just bump up my resolution and it'd appear.

I tried cloning the machine, but the clone opens in the same location.

Is there any way to get this machine back to where I can actually click on it?

Solved. Here's the solution, for any Googlers of the future:

Double-click the affected machine.

Alt-space, Move, use arrow keys as needed.

The default Polac window hides the upper-left box that one would normally click, but alt-space is Windows native.

Good to know!
I remember something similar happened to me once.

PVST has a couple shortcuts to help with this, CTRL+LDBLCLICK on machine and CTRL+SHIFT for the active VST GUI. See the shortcut list here: http://xlutop.com/buzz/
