MacBook Air has phantom third screen

[xn1ncrmns]

Fellow black-hole-window comrades: while display link is working on a fix for us (you are working on a fix of this bug, right?) if you paste the following script into applescript and run it, it should pull the windows out of the invisible zone. Not a fix, but at least if you have something critical on a window that you might have otherwise lost, this might save it from being lost. *THANKFULLY, THE BROWSER WINDOW I USED TO PAY FOR MY TWO DISPLAYLINK DEVICES DID NOT BECOME IRRETRIEVABLY LOST ON THE INVISIBLE THIRD MONITOR MID PAYMENT*


***paste into applescript***

-- Example list of processes to ignore: {"xGestures"} or {"xGestures", "OtherApp", ...}
property processesToIgnore : {}

-- Get the size of the Display(s), only useful if there is one display
-- otherwise it will grab the total size of both displays
tell application "Finder"
set _b to bounds of window of desktop
set screen_width to item 3 of _b
set screen_height to item 4 of _b
end tell

tell application "System Events"
set allProcesses to application processes
set _results to ""
repeat with i from 1 to count allProcesses
set doIt to 1
repeat with z from 1 to count processesToIgnore
if process i = process (item z of processesToIgnore) then
set doIt to 0
end if
end repeat

if doIt = 1 then
tell process i
repeat with x from 1 to (count windows)
set winPos to position of window x
set _x to item 1 of winPos
set _y to item 2 of winPos

if (_x < 0 or _y < 0 or _x > screen_width or _y > screen_height) then
set position of window x to {0, 22}
end if
end repeat
end tell
end if
end repeat
end tell

Thanks for something xn1ncrmns.

Hopefully, DisplayLink is working on a fix for this........
