    Hello all,

    I have a problem with windows that I open in Linpus. The problem is that the height is bigger than the resolution itself. I can move the window more up where the screen ends. When I click and move the windows from the upper bar, I can move it out of the screen in directions left, down and right.

    This isn't the best explanation possible, but it's been a long day for me. If any help comes, I'll be greatful!

    If you hold the Alt button and left-click anwyeher in the window, you should then be able to drag it around so that you can see the missing bits of the window again. Standard Linux functionality.

    I found you have to hold [ALT] +[left pad button] to move the window but at last I have a solution to not being able to adjust programmes like Ktorrent
    thank you very much

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. It worked for me just fine. First time I use Linux, so these basic things are not well known to me :D

    Alt + left click is such an easy fix! I had no idea this was a standard Linux procedure but it has ended my frustration with not being able to reach the "Okay" button at the bottom of many screens. Thanks.
