The dialog box geometry is kept in the file gui.json in the calibre configuration directory. The value is saved under the key "proceed question dialog:User Interface Action:Overdrive Link".

I have been unable to duplicate any shifting in position of the search completion dialog from the Overdrive Link plugin under Windows 8.1 with calibre 2.5 [64bit]. I see you are using Linux, perhaps that has something to do with this.

To diagnose the problem could you check if the proper key is present in gui.json and see if it changes after the completion dialog shifts position. That might help in discovering why the dialog is not staying in the same place.

Before:

"proceed question dialog:User Interface Action:Overdrive Link": {
    "__class__": "bytearray", 
    "__value__": "AdnQywABAAAAAAD+////+AAABAAAAAMIAAABCAAAABsAAAP2AAAC/gAAAAAAAA=="

After clicking OK in the dialog:

  "proceed question dialog:User Interface Action:Overdrive Link": {
    "__class__": "bytearray", 
    "__value__": "AdnQywABAAAAAAD5////+AAAA/sAAAMIAAABAwAAABsAAAPxAAAC/gAAAAAAAA=="
  },
