One unfortunate thing I've noticed is that on my mac (Macbook Pro 13.3" 1280x800) whenever I open a TiddlyWiki from the main menu a new window is created and the top bar is actually above the screen and so I am unable to access the minimize, maximize, and close buttons; nor am I able to easily move the window. While not a huge problem it does get kind of annoying.
Thank you for all the great work on TiddlyWiki!
