Great module, and much appreciated. Thanks!
If you have many drupal_set_message (or a netbook-size screen, perhaps) then the better_messages overlay extends above and below the screen, meaning that the user does not have a way to close the better_messages "window", and thus give up in despair.
Us techies probably know that you can reload the page or hit ESC, but ordinary users have no way to know that.
Could we limit the messages, and perhaps have a link to view more?
This is a pretty serious issue for users in the situation where this happens. And of course it means there's also no way to view the messages that go off the screen.

sinasalek commentedSame here, it think the best solution is detecting screen height/width and display scrollbars when the message is big. Currently i have to disable it whenever i want to debug something.
