(exactly same title :P )

A friend of mine has the same issue - he said that he had it in a2oa already but doesnt remember how it was solved there.
I will attach screens from him.

well it pops up immediatly when you press the compass key, thats not much of putting something back in a pocket. it's more like not looking at it and looking at it - like you wanna have.

Just tested the dev:

The new size is perfect - thats exactly what you wanna see when you wanna look at the compass.

You can aim it and read the numbers without a problem :)

Now we need the map tools
