In google docs, the offline message is too big and cannot be removed

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. on a pc with a small screen (asus eee), go offline
2. open a document

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* A yellow message appears, informing me that I am offline and that I need
to synchronize my documents when I go online. That is fine, but together
with the google and documents page headers, the actual document is just a
strip on the bottom of the screen. There is no way to close or hide this
yellow bar.

* When I click "offline help", the help fills up the entire screen. All I
can do is save my document. The actual document is below the screen.

I can see my online / offline status from the gears icon in google docs, so
I don't need to see a message every time I go offline. A one-time message
would be fine, or a way to hide it. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5.4.2 on an eee-pc with a 7" screen, running linux.

Please provide any additional information below.
