BTW, where is initialPosition documented? Shouldn't it be described here?

Thanks..

That looks suspiciously like the 7px shadow cast off the edge of the window 😉

I'm also urgently looking for finally being able to set it pixel-perfect at 0,0.

Also specifing the width and height in pixels instead of columns and rows would be helpful for compensating the lack of being able to start docked to the left half of my monitor.

initialPosition is in pixels! This bug is caused by the OS lying about the size of the window’s borders subtly 😄

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Jun 23, 2020): `initialPosition` _is_ in pixels! This bug is caused by the OS lying about the size of the window’s borders subtly :smile:

Thanks, @DHowett, I know. I was refering to the width and height in my second sentence.

Regarding the bug, I'm fighting these "wrong" positions and dimensions since years.

Having problems with this as well.
Trying negative values has worked in the past for the likes of Chrome but it doesn't do anything for WT.

I ended up installing "Display Fusion" (paid version) and added a rule to automatically and pixel-perfect position the Windows Terminal window upon start.

Oh my gosh, #10583 was a dupe of this one all along. This should be fixed by #10902 and released in 1.11. Thanks everyone!
