In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.2)'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: nil

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This is for Emacs on Win32. 
I put the taskbar on the left of the screen; and the default position
for emacs is supposedly on the top left hand corner of the screen, but
instead of being beside the taskbar it is under it. More, if I
maximize the window , then reduce it, and maximize again, the new
window takes the space on the whole screen, hence under the taskbar as
well.
Additionaly I just noticed that the bug reporting on windows version doesn't work (it tries to access "fakemail" which doesn't exist).
Thanks,

Thank you for your report.  These two problems are already fixed in
the development sources for the next release.

Do you know if anyone reported a similar problem about using Emacs
with the taskbar on top? I do this at work and if I start an emacs -Q,
the title bar of the Emacs window is hidden underneath the taskbar
which makes it hard to move (for example). I use a CVS Emacs that is a
couple of months old though.

I think these problems were fixed around June 30.  If your build is
later, please post (to emacs-devel) the recipe to reproduce the
problem, including what did you do in Windows to set the taskbar on
top.
