Pressing the arrow keys scrolls the page and cuts off the bottom of the board
From 4 comments
Cool. I'm on a MBP with 1280x800 resolution and tapping up on the keyboard moves the page to the top, which cuts off the bottom of the game board. A little annoying :(
jlas on HNIs it just me or do the arrows not lock to the game and push the scrollbar up, making you not see the whole game? The previous game had the same problem.
higherpurpose on HNThis was clearly developed on a very large monitor ... because when I press the up arrow, it scroll the document up and I can't see the bottom of the board. I got 8096 btw!
EGreg on HNOnly issue is when you press up it scrolls all the way up during the game and it gets cut off.
