I gone through same problem but got a solution nearly immediately.

just open preferences of guake and manage height via Main window height bar and everything will be fine!!!

Patch to resize and move the guake window AFTER it has been toggled from fullscreen. Potentially fixes bug #793405 Edit (561 bytes, text/plain)

Attached is a patch that seems to fix this for me. Basically, after toggling fullscreen, I resize and move the guake terminal.

i was having problem when by mistake i slided the slider completely down to screen and unable to see the slider.
i played with code and got this one,this code sets the maximum height for guake

search for this line 686

max_height = self.window.get_screen().get_height()
percent = y / (max_height / 100)

change value to

max_height = self.window.get_screen().get_height()
percent = y / (max_height / 90)

using mint 17 XFCE guake version 0.4.4
