Wireshark appearing offscreen

Build Information:
Version 1.2.0 (SVN Rev 28753)

Compiled with GTK+ 2.14.7, with GLib 2.18.4, with WinPcap (version unknown),
with libz 1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, without libpcre, without SMI,
without c-ares, without ADNS, with Lua 5.1, without GnuTLS, without Gcrypt,
without Kerberos, without GeoIP, with PortAudio V19-devel (built Jun 15 2009),
without AirPcap.
NOTE: this build doesn't support the "matches" operator for Wireshark filter
syntax.

Running on Windows Vista Service Pack 2, build 6002, with WinPcap version 4.1
beta5 (packet.dll version 4.1.0.1452), based on libpcap version 1.0.0.

Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 build 30729

I have a laptop with a 15.4" screen and an external monitor attached.  The
laptop screen's resolution is 1440x900, while the attached monitor's resolution
is 1280x1024 (taller, pixel-by-pixel, than the laptop's screen).

In the screen layout diagram of Windows' Display Properties tab, I have the
bottoms of each screen lined up, so the external monitor (secondary) extends
higher than the laptop's screen (primary).  The top half (or so) of the
Wireshark screen appears off-screen (too vertical).

If I adjust the display properties so the TOPS of each screen line up in the
Display Properties diagram, Wireshark appears flush to the left and top of the
primary screen, but still completely on-screen.

Note that in offscreen.gif (attached), the black portion represents the video
buffer appearing offscreen of the primary screen (I simply hit Print Screen and
cropped).
