Sometimes when I try to add custom Highlighting Colour to one of my DB Connections the dialog window that would provide means to select the color is put at screen coordinates x:32767, y:32767. Is this a bug? Or is there a setting somewhere missing that should tell that window where it should appear?

32767 is -1 if you convert it to signed short data type.
There is SqlAssist.ini file in which window positions are saved and there should be an entry for that dialog as well. -1 likely indicates the entry is missing.

I'm wondering how you figured out the exact position in pixels.

It was rather easy. As soon as I double-clicked Highligting Colour the SA Options window froze and the Color dialog could be seen in Alt-Tab list, meaning that the dialog was most likely a modal dialog and since SA Options is not set to be AlwaysOnTop (in which case Color could 'hide' behind it) I was sure it must be somewhere offscreen. So I run an AutoHotkey command:
Code:

WinGetPos, x, y, Width, Height, Color

and printed its result.

Also, the issue was gone after a reboot, and now I've got no reference which entry in SqlAssist.ini it might have been because there're no entries names containing the word 'color' (there are properties like 'diagPrinter.FontHeader.Color' but I'm sure those are not the ones I was looking for).

I have logged that issue. I believe the wider issue is missing checks for -1, -1 positions and screen size. The dialogs are supposed to be always shown within the visible screen area regardless of what is saved in the config files.
