But, as you have confirmed, "the way it used to" is not even one
consistent behavior.

I guess that depends on your definition of consistent.  It acts consistently on every window on my machine.

In my case, the viewable area in the old software goes from 960x480 to
1056x486. This means the height actually gets a little larger.
The window gets vertically larger for you but vertically smaller for
me, and you call this "well specified" behavior?

I'm not trying to be confrontational.

And yet, you're succeeding admirably.  :)  Yes, I consider the behavior to be quite well specified.  Or perhaps I should say "well enough for me".  Seriously, the argument you're making is that I shouldn't want it to act the same way it did before because you don't like the way it acted before.  Not compelling.

I'm just trying to show you,
because maybe you weren't aware before, that the situation might not
be as simple it seems to you.

It doesn't "seem" simple.  It is simple.  I want it to act the way it did before, no matter how much you dislike it.  You are making it more complicated than it is, and to be honest, more complicated than it's worth.  I wanted to respond out of politeness because you've put a lot of effort into your argument, but I sense that I'm edging out of the polite lane, so I'm just going to leave it here.
