This sounds quite bizarre. As a final check, can you open the Scheme
Window and put

(d-GetUserInput)

in the CLI box and press Enter to execute it. When enter something in
the dialog that pops up and press return does the Print View appear?
No additional code should be executed at that point - the value is just
being discarded, so nothing should happen.

I think the only way to make progress would be to use a debugger to
find out how this is coming about - do you have gdb installed on your
Mac?

The print view does come back centered if it has been left in
Continuous Typesetting, I think ideally all windows would remember
where they were positioned the last time Denemo was shut down.
