There is a minor issue with the simulator that I came across: the initial
framesize is set to 1280x900 which is too big for my 13" notebook screen
(which is 1280x800).  Usually that is not a problem, but in this case the
window gets placed so that the title and the menu with all the button
controls is off-screen at the top (see attached screenshot).

This is bad as on OSX, without special hotkey knowledge, a user can not
move the window down to get access to the menu bar.  In fact I had to
google for a solution (when holding ALT while resizing the window from
the bottom edge, the window also shrinks symmetrically from the top,
which eventually exposes the title bar).

I see that my screen resolution is probably not the typical size for
serious PCB design and layout work, so I won’t ask for a smaller initial
size.  But perhaps there is the possibility to at least assure that the
title bar of the window will be placed on a visible part of the screen?
Moving and resizing would then be a lot easier for normal users.

Best,
Johannes
