Entire bottom of window is cut off

True
I just downloaded LibreCAD for Linux Mint via the Software Manger. I am new to LibreCAD.

When I opened the program and looked for a tutorial and started reading I noticed they mentioned a tool bar that should be on the bottom of the screen. I then looked closer and almost all of that toolbar is cut off by the bottom of my screen. I can only resize the window horizontally and not vertically. I do not, and cannot have a mouse with a scroll wheel and there is no scroll bar on the side to scroll down the window.

Any ideas on how to see the bottom of the screen? I also tried making the window "full screen" and that did not help at all.

Thanks

P.S. As I was writing this, just before sending the above.I stopped to check the name of the toolbar that is cut off on the bottom of the window to see if I should include it in this post. I opened the LibreCAD again to try and figure it out, and the problem ceased to be. I think the solution is, and why I am sending this after all, that others may be helped, is that after I resized the window horizontally, dragging the sides of the window making it fill the whole width of my screen, then right clicking at the very top of the window (where the X to close would be) and clicking resize (which I assume sets the new dimensions for the window to open in the future), upon closing LibreCAD and opening it again, it caused the whole window to orient itself correctly and I can now see the whole bottom of the screen except for a tiny bit of the zeros on the bottom, but all is fully legible regardless. If I am wrong in my reasoning as to why the problem resolved, or if anyone has questions regarding this issue, do ask or inform so anyone else encountering this may find a quick resolution to any similar issue.

well, actually the entire UI system is highly customizable - you may place almost any widget like toolbar, dock widget etc in any location using ordinary drag&drop operations.  And you may control visibility of them, of course, too.
So the amount of UI layouts combination is actually not limited.

As for the first start - well, there might be some issue. Actually, it's assumed that the user will customize UI layout to own needs - actually, it's hard to satisfy all combinations of screen sizes, resolutions and plus different fonts under various operating systems reliably.

So yes, some glitches in UI layouts may occur.

Which version of LC do you use, btw?
