Hi,

Well, upon reviewing what I wrote, I see it doesn't stand out as a model of 
clear expression.

Let me make some corrections.

That should be "as high as the monitor."

Furthermore, and probably more to the point, the out-of-place redraw put 
the window frame's origin (upper-left) corner at the monitor origin. The 
displaced frame got drawn in pieces--as more update events came in, I suppose.

More rephrasing in the following paragraph:
