Can't see bottom of window?

[Dale Alspach]

Re: Alt key

Try using the Super or Windows meta key instead of Alt. The choice of 
key for grabbing a window is usually a setting for your desktop in 
something like Preferences Windows. I am using Mate so the location of 
the setting may be slightly different for you.
