If you have two monitors that are different pixel heights, how are they aligned when you look at the Displays Preference Panel? And does that make any difference?
It doesn't make any difference. Normally I have the tops of the two
monitors aligned, but I tried it with the bottom edges aligned, with
the corners barely touching, and with the secondary monitor on the
other side. It was the same regardless.
There is one aspect of setting the bounds of Terminal windows that is different from "normal" application windows. Terminal sizes windows based on the number of characters wide and the number of lines deep. If you try to set bounds that would result in a width that isn't an exact number of characters, it will be set a bit higher or lower to make it exact. Same with lines in the depth. You can't have a terminal window that cuts off half a character or half a line. So the setting of bounds with AppleScript and Terminal windows is different.
True, but that shouldn't amount to more than a few pixels (I have the
standard Monaco 9 as my Terminal font). I get offsets of 124 pixels
on one system, and 256 on another.
