I'm running Kate under Gnome. Somehow it was resized to a too-large size for my desktop. So now the Maximize and Resize buttons are unreachable. I'm assuming reinstalling would fix the problem, but if I can fix it without reinstalling that would be ideal. Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated. (I have tried the keyboard shortcuts, with no results.)

When a window is bigger than the resolution of the monitor do the following:
Press and HOLD ALT and then simply click and HOLD the mouse button over the window you want.
Start dragging it until you can see the top part or at least a corner to resize it. Keep holding ALT while doing each click until you can see a corner or the top. From there just resize it as you like.

My whole screen shifted to the right by 75% or so. I couldn't reach the up/down or left/right bars, so I tried what I thought was moving the screen to the left. I ended up resizing it, so then it was left adjusted, but the text still started 3/4 of the way to the right. After playing with it a while, I found if I went to the work space switcher and selected the space my file was spilling over into, I could 'pull' the page back into place by resizing it back where it belonged.

You simplify use shortcut for GNOME window ALT + F8 in order to move it freely. Then, focusing on your factor and rescaling it.
Or in the tweak-tool window, click the magnifier icon (search option), then enter scaling in the text field. That will display only options for which the name matches the word scaling. Now click the entry Windows. The option Window Scaling will now be located up the content pane and you could edit it back to 1.

Are you sure you're not in fullscreen mode?
Ctrl+Shift+F should toggle it on and off.

My whole screen shifted to the right by 75% or so. I couldn't reach the up/down or left/right bars, so I tried what I thought was moving the screen to the left. I ended up resizing it, so then it was left adjusted, but the text still started 3/4 of the way to the right. After playing with it a while, I found if I went to the work space switcher and selected the space my file was spilling over into, I could 'pull' the page back into place by resizing it back where it belonged.

You simplify use shortcut for GNOME window ALT + F8 in order to move it freely. Then, focusing on your factor and rescaling it.
Or in the tweak-tool window, click the magnifier icon (search option), then enter scaling in the text field. That will display only options for which the name matches the word scaling. Now click the entry Windows. The option Window Scaling will now be located up the content pane and you could edit it back to 1.

Can't you just grab the windows top and drag it to the left part of the screen (again and again) until you reach for the right part of the window?

No, that didn't work either, but I figured it out! Turns out the session was corrupt. When I started a brand new session, I got everything back.
