The following is a copy of a message that should have been sent to `18215@debbugs.gnu.org`, but which was inadvertently omitted.

The version of Emacs Trunk built on June 1, 2014 works well -- i.e., the two examples in the current bug report work as expected.

GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0, NS appkit-1038.36 Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)) of 2014-06-01 on MP.local

I did not test any builds between the dates of June 2, 2014 through August 6, 2014.

Yes, `(set-frame-size (selected-frame) 1894 1054 t)`, works well with the August 7 and 8, 2014 build when it is evaluated all by itself.

`M-x toggle-frame-maximized` works well with the August 7 and 8, 2014 build.
