Pedro,

I dont believe this is a large bug. The problem is that the game window does
not allow to be resized, its only options are close and minimize. If I could
resize the window, the problem would probably be corrected.

Thanks

Jeanette

I also have this problem, because I am using an Acer 1 Aspire with a screen which is only 600 pixels high.

This also happens for me. As a workaround, as with many applications, it is possible to hold down the left alt key and simultaneously use the mouse to drag the window into view.

I have the same problem on my Acer Aspire One (9" netbook). It has a screen resolution of 1024x600. And the game window is higher than 600 px. I have tried the game in both Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10-beta.

The work around is using alt-click to move the window up and down as needed.

Same issue here. Dell mini9 and UNR 9.10. Iagno needs a smaller game piece set or to be dynamically resizable.
