Mini player bounces back when I tried to drag it down

I often maintain a terminal or a remote desktop that I maximize and run Cog in the background. I want Cog to show the current song and some minimal control when I work. So I make the Mac OS dock about as big as the Cog mini-player window and drag it down to the very bottom of the screen, and at the area where the dock doesn't cover. The only problem is that the Cog window bounces back when I tried to drag it down, so it wouldn't go any lower than the screenshot. So my terminal covers the Cog song title when it loses focus :(

It seems like this is not your fault, it's just MacOS window manager being silly about "title bars have to be above the dock" policy, but can we have an option to display the song title where I can see it (perhaps above/below the controls).

Thanks for maintaining this useful software :)

Yes, macOS won't let you maintain windows below the top of the Dock. This is by design. Even if your Dock is somehow not filling the entire width of the screen.
