This was reported 7 years ago, but never got a reply at the time.

Are you still seeing this in a modern version of Emacs?

If yes, could you please answer the following:

- I'm not sure I understand the bug report, but isn't the placement of
  the window in step five done by Windows itself?
- What version of Windows are you using?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

More information was requested, but none was given within 6 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.

If this is still an issue, please reply to this email (use "Reply to
all" in your email client) and we can reopen the bug report.
