What options do you get if you right click on the highlighted term? You should theoretically see a "Concordance..." item with its shortcut on the right. | | |

I actually see the Concordance option, but when clicking on it, nothing happens. Same if I try to click on it in the ribbon, or call with with ctrl-k. Sometimes, when trying to call the window, my cursor will change to the small wheel (indicating it's trying to work), but nothing will appear. | | |

Without clicking anywhere else or pressing anything else, press and hold the Windows button on your keyboard with one finger and simultaneously press arrow (left or/not and right) several (6 to 8) times with another hand finger Sometimes such "auxiliary" screens go off the screen without your knowledge/recognizing.

[Edited at 2016-03-01 20:29 GMT] Thanks SO MUCH I've been looking for a solution to that annoying randomly appearing problem. Have a great day | | |

Glad to hear it helped. I would like just to add a minor update for almost 3 years have passed and modern technologies are very fast pace: this workaround was true for Windows 7 as far as I remember. For later versions now it works in a different way.

"press and hold the Windows button" workaround still working! | Mar 24, 2020 |
Though this post is old, it just saved my day! The "press and hold the Windows button" workaround just worked for me (MemoQ 9.2 / Windows 10) as my Concordance window refused to show. Thank you Stepan! | | |

The fix still applies to MemoQ 9.9.9 / Win 10 and multi-monitor setup. The concordance window probably moves outside the viewable area of the screen (for reasons unknown). | | |
This window is a pain | Nov 7, 2021 |
This concordance window has always been a pain. Not only the "always on top" mode is forced, but also, it doesn't wotk well in a Windows 10 multiscreen environment (frequently, the window opens somewhere outside the different monitors). I'm sure it is only a question of selecting the right window parameters before compiling the source code. MemoQ has always been rather reactive to fix issues, so I don't understand why this one lasts for years... | | |
Saved the day again in December 2021! | Dec 17, 2021 |
Thank you, Stepan Konev! I'm still using memoQ 9.0 and just wasted an hour trying to solve this problem. Your solution saved the day! | |

Auxiliary information | Jun 7, 2022 |
Very useful. Problem occurred also in multiscreen environment. Note that it does not work if you have disabled the snap windows option in Settings/System/Multitasking. | | |
Still working! | Jul 12, 2022 |
