Same problem here. I am working with a MacBook with 1280 x 800 pixel.
At the moment you can't ignore that! Most of the laptops at the moment using this solution or similar. The age of the high resolution displays has just begun and only few people in this world have upgraded to new hardware yet.
Found a work-around: Undock the program window, then click and pull the right vertical frame to resize larger. That will move the icons so you can use them.
