I execute the following function in *scratch* on a fresh emacs -Q (modify-frame-parameters ; for 2560x1600 nil '((fullscreen . fullheight) (width . 176) (left . -1300)))
My screen is 2560x1600. Emacs version is 24.4. System is gentoo/gnome. The frame does become fullheight and the width does become 176. However, left is not correct (it should be flush left but is nearly centered. The weird part is if I execute the same command again (a second C-j in *scratch), the frame moves to the correct, flush left, position. An explanation would be appreciated. thanks, allan PS If I use the more natural (left . 0) the frame moves near the left edge but is not flush left (even if executed twice).
