I think upstream has a minimum vertical resolution they consider
practical, but anything which doesn't fit in this is considered a bug. I
can't recall off the top of my head if that's 600 or 768 pixels. File a
bug on one case and see what they say.

(as a workaround, alt-drag still works: hold down alt key and you can
click-and-hold _anywhere_ in a window to drag it around, not just the
title bar. Using this, you can drag a window off the top of the screen
to access elements at the bottom.)
