While setting zoom, too large a number was entered by mistake, causing the screen to become excessively large and the vscode execution window to disappear.No matter how hard you try, you can't return to the default setting.Help - Removing and reinstalling the vscode leaves the enlarged window and does not disappear.
I want the first page of vscode (main page) to appear.
I tried to find the settings page, but there was no way. The Run window does not appear.

I came from PyCharm, and starting in VSCode, when I print a lot of content in the output window in VSCode, the output window will stay from the output of the last executed content, and I need to scroll all the way down to see the last part of the new output content.
Is there a way I can set it up so the output window will automatically go to the bottom of the output content? I have googled and searched stackoverflow, without any luck.
Here is some visual to show what I mean
I need to manually scroll down to see the last content
Two things to try:
In your second screenshot, there is a padlock in the top right of your output window. That enables/disables auto scrolling. You currently have is disabled. Try enabling it.
There is a setting called output.smartScroll - I wonder if disabling that might achieve what you want (if you are clicking in the output box at least).
Recently in VS Code, somewhere around v1.42 or v1.43, we gained the ability to move around the following windows/panels that used to be stuck in the panel:
Terminal
Output
Debug Console
Problems
They could be split into multiple items in the panel itself (side-by-side or top/bottom, depending on whether the panel was at the bottom or left/right), and even dragged into the side-bar.
This was great, but after moving all of these windows to the side-bar while experimenting, I can't find any way to move them back into the panel. The panel is now empty, except for 3 dots (an ellipsis) in the upper left corner. You can still hide/show the panel, and move it left, bottom, or right, but there is nothing in it, and you can't drag anything to it. Dragging the terminal into the panel shows an icon that looks like it will successfully move (it's not the icon with the circle/cross-out you get other places it won't drop), but when releasing the click-drag, nothing happens.
I had just upgraded to v1.45.0 when this happened. It appears to be a defect, unless I'm missing something. Does anyone have a way to put the terminal or one of these other windows back in the panel, or reset their position? I combed the settings, and tried to find default setting's files (system or user) that might hold info on what is in the panel vs. the sidebar, etc., but couldn't find anything via search or on my PC. Any ideas?
Note: This is NOT about moving the panel between the left/right/bottom positions, or selecting the terminal/output/etc. in the panel itself. That's "old news", this is a recent feature.
Here is a view with the Terminal, Output, Debug Console, and Problems put at the top of the sidebar toolbar, and Terminal focused. The Panel is just to the right of the sidebar window, set to the "left" position, completely blank and useless. The "welcome" window on the far right side:
And here are my current settings:
See this issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/96117 (Empty panel behaves weird)
Suggested fix:
Run the command View: Reset View Locations in the command palette.

Menu Window / Reset Window Layout worked for me in VS 2019
I undocked the dev-Tools of chrome so that when pressing F12, another window opens, showing the DEV-Tools.
Problem: For I-don't-know-what-reason the window moves to a random position whenever it's opened. currently it moved so far, that its coordinates are fully outside of my desktop. It always moves at least somewhere nearly outside my desktop.
Question: How to restore the window positioni if it's not reachable for grabbing?
How to avoid this happening again?
I had the same problem, turns out it was because I had multiple monitors and one of them had display scaling set to 125%, when I set it back to 100% the developer tools windows always appeared where I could see it entirely.
You can change the display scaling by right clicking the desktop and then clicking Display settings, look for the setting Change the size of text, apps, and other items, if it's already at 100%, click on another monitor at the top and check again.
Of course you might not like having the monitor at 100% scaling (everything will be smaller), but at least it works!
I somehow messed up my perspective then I clicked reset perspective. This gives me back the package manager on the left. problems/javadoc/declarations on the bottom. Task list and outline as 2 separate windows on the right and a big empty space in the middle where the code is supposed to be. When I open up some code it ends up in the bottom window and there's that big hole where the code window used to go. I can drag and drop the code into that empty space, but when I try to drag the code window bigger to fill up the entire space it won't let me past a certain point. I'm left with a gap above the coding window that's bothering me. It seems Eclipse is leaving that space for me to drag other perspectives into, however dragging more perspectives into that empty space doesn't make it go away, it's still the same size. How do I get rid of this space?
Close eclipse if it's open
Navigate to your workspace folder
Further navigate down into .metadata then .plugins (These are hidden files, use terminal or look up how to show hidden files in your OS)
Delete the org.eclipse.e4.workbench folder
Restart Eclipse
If it still doesn't look right click Window > New Window
If it still isn't fixed please let me know in the comments (it might be time to reinstall Eclipse)
This has happened to me a few times and it's annoying, whenever I take my laptop home my pgadmin editor stops working after resizing (I have more screens at work):
I have tried everything possible and the editor does not regain its correct shape and the "edit" area is impossible to get.
If you don't know the answer, do you have any suggestions for a good free SQL editor, now that we all know pgadmin is horrible...
Yes, it does get frustrating at times, especially when the monitor configurations are different at different places (say office vs home). So although one configuration works in office, when you take the laptop home, the Edit area is effectively missing, and the output window is at 100%.
You didn't mention the OS, but on windows I used to first Un-maximize the window, and then use to Right-Click on the Window (blue?) bar, that gave me the default MS Windows options (Move, Minimize, Maximize, Restore etc.). (These have been life-savers also when a window is completely out of the visible scope).
Once the menu is selected (nowadays using special keyboard combinations, i.e. a mouse isn't required), you could take the window further up and start to see a very small Query box open up. That way, you can now select the section divider and slide it down to reduce the Output Window size.
Painful, but worked most of the times.
