Description of the Issue

Sometimes panels seemingly get "lost" in Notepad++.
Typically this happens with the Search results window/panel.
The size of the window is reduced (somehow) to zero or near zero, and the user can no longer locate the panel.
Users seek technical support when this happens, resulting in a cumbersome and raw "edit the config file" approach to solution, meaning restoration to a viewable and workable size.

It would be nice if some means for locating such a "lost" window were available in the Notepad++ UI itself; perhaps some sort of minimal size limit, or perhaps a command to provide more size to a suspected lost panel. We leave it to Notepad++ devs to come up with the best solution.

More discussion on this problem is located in the Community site, including ideas for solutions, HERE.
