Hehehe... no it is not small at all ... and there should be a way to change layout in cases like this.
I suppose that most people call today screen resolution of 1024 x 600 or less "small" but 1360 x 768 is quite large for a laptop - yet it should not matter. Right blocks should never hide other content - no matter if it implemented with scrollbars, css, javascript or what ever workaround.
