Hi,

It seems that this has nothing to do with AppleScript but is a property of the OS.
If you leave your left dock on permanently and push a window further to the left, then after closing it will always reopen to the right of the dock, similar if you push a finder window beyond the boundaries of the screen. I suppose this is a feature, not a bug.
Probably all windows that remember their position at all have this property, e.g. AppleScript Editor's Library window behaves the same way.

Cheers
Thomas
