Jam banner covering the game

Hello. I sometimes make HTML games without using any engine (without even HTML canvas, just CSS and DOM), and with latest such game the fellow jammers noticed an issue that I don't think was present in the past.

It's about that huge banner covering the top of the game's page, the one that links to the submission page. It is only visible to other jammers, so that issue was hard to predict. The game is set to launch in full screen window when Play is clicked, but the banner doesn't go away when the game launches, it is still there covering a huge top area of the game's view.

From what I heard, it is easy to remove it by scrolling down a bit before pressing play, but a lot of jammers who are trying out the game will not do that no matter how many instructions I leave around. In essence, I don't see any need for such banner, especially of this size, when the game's entry page is linked on the right side of the screen (and this is also covering the game's window but is less of a problem with most screens being wide enough).

Is there some setting that I am missing, or is the fullscreen view simply not supported for HTML-based games?
