Hi all,
this bug also exists directly under the Finder.
On the Finder, place the window at the top/left edge, close it (cmd-w),
open it (cmd-o) and you get it 20 pixels below the location you set.
But, if you place the window (horizontally) to hide the close circle and
hide half of the orange circle [these are two of the three buttons on
the left of the window], close the window and open it you will see it at
the location you want.
Weird!
For example, the following script works fine on a standard Finder window
(not the Get Infos, Inspector or other Finder special windows):
tell application "Finder"
set position of front window to {-35, 44}
end tell
Nota: I started with -40 (it worked) and then -35; other values may work
fine too, but I do not spent time to determine the first working value).
Nota: I have an external monitor (19") connected to my MacBook, but it
is located to the right of the MacBook monitor (winter location; it will
be at the left when the cold season will end…)

PS: why must I click two times to set the focus to the Inspector (from a
standard window to a floating window) ?
Worse, when the inspector have the focus (a key press on one of the
arrow keys issue a Beep), why Cmd-A select all items in the window (the
one below the Inspector window) ?
