Twhirl window management on Apple OS 10.5.2
Sorry guys, I should have posted as a problem earlier. I love the app, please make it better!
Usability issues on OS 10.5.2 MacbookPro and Apple Cinema Display:
1) Cannot resize the application window by click-drag with mouse after it has been stretched vertically and then reopened n a small monitor.
2) Cannot use maxmize button to correct issue #1
3) There is no global menu item that corrects #1
4) If you open twhirl while running 2 monitors (laptop and external display) and close the application window while it is on the slave monitor, you cannot access it when restarting with just one monitor (laptop). The application opens, but the available view controls in the global menu do not reopen in it in the parent window.

Inappropriate?Hi Werker,
I also love Twhirl and wish I could use it again . . . it's the best twitter app out there.
I'm seeing the same issue, although only on a single monitor. At some point, the app resized itself so that the bottom portion of the app window is now offscreen and, since the resize window button is hidden offscreen also, I have never been able to get the entire window to be viewable again, effectively making it impossible to use the app. (I'm actually trying an alternative because Twhirl is permanently hosed for me at the moment).
I've tried uninstalling AIR and Twhirl, changing screen resolutions, modified clicking of every type and nothing has worked so far.
Would be nice if there was a "reset window to default size" option in prefs if not a method for checking itself to see if a portion of the app is offscreen. No clue if that's even possible, but a user can dream :)
I posted my issue here earlier:

thanks!
Hope others might comment too if they have this issue. -
Inappropriate?I have sorted this, via the @twhirl help twitter feed.
Go to your dock, right click (context menu) and click "reset windows". Just do that whenever it goes wandering off.
