User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

Executing a simple JavaScript moveTo(x,y) does not move the window to the
correct point in the Mac OS X environment. This problem actually has existed for
sometime across Mac OS X updates and Mozilla revisions (pre 1.x).

A simple example can be seen at the following page with screen clips:

http://www.petmystone.com/moveTo.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Using the psuedo protocol javascript: enter in the location bar
"javascript:window.moveTo(0,0)"
2.Click/Press Return/enter

(This can be reproduced in code on a page or link as well.)

Actual Results:  
The window is moved to a position slightly to the right of the desired position.
For example:

window.moveTo(0,0) places the window closer to (6,0)

Expected Results:  
Moved the window to the specified point. For example window.moveTo(0,0) should
place the window at (0,0) not (6,0)

This is duplicated on Mac OS X. Mac OS X.

Dan, you have a mac, right? Care to have a look? If not, please pass on to one
of the Mac developers...

Confirmed using FizzillaMach/2003021203. Is this because Mozilla is including
the drop shadow?

Firefox only, it WFM using Camino 2005032208 (0.8+). Would this be better on
Widget: Mac? Let's try.

The problem seems to be correcting itself in Firefox 1.0.1 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 
Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1). Specifically, the window seems to move not 
first to (0,0), but (6,0) then "jumps" to (0,0).

However, in Mozilla 1.7.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/
20050319) it is fully corrected...interesting. Close?

This does not appear to be a problem in the latest trunk builds of FF,
Seamonkey, or Camino. Closing, please reopen if you can repro with the latest code.
