Hi,

Running Windows 7.
Build: emacs-24.5-bin-i686-mingw32


In Windows, If I press say, Win+Left Arrow with an active window the
expected behaviour would be to fill the left hand side of the screen.

With emacs, the screen is not completely full, and there are small gaps to
the left and the top.

Thanks
Ben Blamey

What happens when you customize ‘frame-resize-pixelwise’ to t?

That fixes it, Thank you.

I would (politely) argue that the software is "broken" in the default state
for the Windows platform.

Having the frame size an integral multiple of characters has its
advantages and disadvantages.  The option mentioned by Martin was
introduced only in the recent Emacs versions, so its default value
just reflects what Emacs has been doing since day one.  We try not to
change the defaults, unless they are clearly wrong.

If I'm not mistaken, Emacs 25.1 should handle this case in the default
state on the Windows platform (I have not tested Windows 7 yet).
