I started experiencing this same window disappearing off-screen problem when I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan. It happens frequently when I have many baudline windows open and I close the lid on my Mac Book Pro. When I open my Mac Book Pro from sleep I find that many of the baudline window have been moved off-screen and are inaccessible. Yosemite and Mavericks did not behave this way.
