I have a Retina display, I downloaded your app and it's as Roger deduced: If, via System Preferences -> Displays I change my usual setting of 'More Space' to 'Larger Text' the Retina Display is effectively turned into a 1024 x 640 display; you App is magnified and doesn't fit and it can't be made to. If I select the next setting up, it's effectively a 1280 x 800 display and still your App doesn't fit. Any setting from 'Default' up to the full resolution of 'More Space' handles your app just fine.
That should help Artie but I tend to agree with Roger. If you are catering for people like yourself, who may hold onto computers until they actually die (the computer, not the user;-) then a height no taller than 756 px should reduce your support calls.
