Re: [Fwd: Frame Height Different for Default Frame and Additional Frames]

Does this bug still happen for you, or has it been fixed?

    Yes they do.  It looks like default-frame-alist is ignored for the first 
frame.

This does not fail for me.  When I start Emacs with just

    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 15))

in .emacs, it makes a 15-line frame.  I tested that in Emacs 22
and in the trunk, and it makes a 15-line frame in both.
(The frame starts out the default size and then shrinks, of course.)
