Calibre GUI issue using netbook

the cover viewer pops up automatically when you scroll the summary area (rt side of main library window). The cover viewer pops up and on a net book places the title bar above the visible area of the screen so you cannot move the window or access the close button. This behavior is very annoying since you cannot close the cover viewer - there are various workaround ( rotate the screen via the grfx props, close calibre etc...). I checked the confg files and see nothing that determines the initial size of the cover viewer window or position etc... Is there a user modifiable param that can be edited to change this behavior? or turn this popup behavior off altogether. I am working with default calibre install on an acer atom PC. Great piece of s/w - just need to deal with this little pita...

thx!

Go to preferences - look and feel and uncheck Show cover browser in separate window. Then restart calibre.
