At present, most dialogs and windows of NVDA seam to be scattered around the screen. Some of them are in the center and are fully visible, but some of them begin from the center and due to their wideness or height, are partially hidden on the right or bottom. The low screen resolution (on my screen is 800x600) also helps for that issue to occur. I see that on the left and top of the screen there is enough space for those dialogs and windows to fit fully in the screen horizontally or vertically (even with 800x600 screen resolution), but it seams that those dialogs and windows are set to have a specific offset (in pixels maybe) from the top and left, witch in some cases is too much.

I have a program for manage of windows witch has a command to position a window in the center of the screen. When I execute that command for those problematic NVDA windows and dialogs, they fit perfectly in the screen (even with my low resolution). So basically, I think that the NVDA windows and dialogs should have a position attribute with a "center" value, so they are centered on the screen when spawned from NVDA (if that is possible to implement).
