Description
The very first examples (rocket animation) from How To Design Programs, 2nd ed., do not fully work on Windows 10:
- the window created with
animateis partly covered by Windows task bar on the left side of the screen - even if I can move the task bar away and see the window in full, there is no way I can drag or resize it
I tested the same example on a Linux station and everything works fine: the window is displayed at the top left corner, then I can drag and resize the window as usual.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the first How To Design Programs, 2nd ed. rocket animation examples with animate on Windows 10, then compare the window behavior on Linux. Done means the Universe window is fully visible and can be moved and resized normally without being covered by the task bar.
