I don't really understand the difference between WebKit and Chromium. Is Chromium the browser implementation using WebKit?
I reported a bug to Chromium last year which was to do with using screen.availHeight in Windows. The value returned ignored the taskbar which made this setting unreliable. Using it to open new Windows meant the Window would fall behind the Taskbar.
Its still bugged. Since then people have periodically confirmed it. It doesn't surprise me that WebKit has the same problem with edge case's being ignored in the rush to add more functionality.
This does actually make me want to get in and fix some of things. Perhaps if some free time opens up I could make a difference here.
