Variables Windows for parametes doesn't appear

[orcldude]

Before 11 am today, PLSQL Developer was working just fine on my computer. Now, when I kick off a query with a run-time prompt, the prompt window does NOT display anywhere that I can find. The current window says processing. If I try to type or click anywhere around the PL/SQL Developer window it simply beeps. If I ALT TAB through windows, I don't see the Variables Window. However, if I blindly type in some things that match what the prompts should be and hit enter, the query does run. But I can no longer see or find the prompt box. I restarted my PC but no change.
I did not change any of my settings or pop-up blockers, etc. The only difference on my end was I remotely connected to my PC while I was in the Data Admin meeting. Ever since then the variables window does not appear

My guess is that the variable window is "off screen". Can you try the following?

• Exit PL/SQL Developer
• Start regedit.exe
• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allround Automations\PL/SQL Developer\Position
• Delete the SubstVarForm section
• Restart PL/SQL Developer and try again

The user got into remote desktop again, tested and all worked fine from RD. She exited PLSQL Developer and the closed her RD session. Then when she got back in to the office and started her direct desktop session everything was working as it should.

I am going to add these notes to my support ticket though so if this ever shows up again we will know what to do.
