Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them.

The frame was positioned at (0, 0) to start. The frame appears to jump briefly to (100, 200) and immediately jumps back to (0, 0). The same command run under xemacs-21.5-b5 works correctly, leaving the frame at (100, 200) Thanks, Jim Recent input: C-c C-s d C-c C-c C-x k C-c C-s C-g C-c s C-c s C-x C-e C-h f C-g M-x a p r o v e r s i o n C-x o C-s e m a c s C-x 1 M-x a p r o b u g C-s b u g - r e p C-s C-s C-h f C-g M-x r e p o r t - e m a Recent messages: Cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window cscope:gather-text-string: Quit Mark set nil setq: Quit Loading apropos...done Mark saved where search started [2 times] setq: Quit Loading emacsbug...done nil
