So I was pretty miffed by this issue for a little while, then I realized that the item cutoff issue could be resolved by moving the item help HUD item and Action Help HUD item up towards the top of my screen.

You can also drag the chat box.

These are temporary fixes, but it would be nice to have a simple screen positioning test in the game.

It's not hard, developers have been doing it for over a decade. I also write software for a living, the dev team probably wants to do it, but the bosses need reasons. The more we complain the more they reason.
