I've encountered this problem too. It seems to have been in OmniWeb SPs 
for some time. My windows are set to ~ 800*600 size (I'm running my 
display at 1024*768).

When running OmniWeb and having opened additional windows, the next time 
a window is opened/spawned in the middle of the screen as part of 
cascading it is occasionally shorter - still 800 wide, but maybe only 
500 high. Most of the cases I can recall it happening, one or more of 
the previously opened windows had been resized - whether manually or 
automatically by the page - and then closed. I can't recall any other 
pattern.

Also, by 'occasionally', I mean it might happen to you once, twice, 
maybe thrice while using OW for, say, an hour... or it might not occur 
at all!

(Cascading behaviour on my setup: The first window starts in the middle 
of the screen, and subsequent windows cascade towards the bottom-right. 
After 4 additional windows have been opened, they've reached the bottom, 
so the next window opens at the same Y location as the first, but 
further right. At that point, it has also reached the right-hand side, 
so the next window opens in the middle.)

A shorter than usual window also appeared when I opened sp20 the first 
time. I have not seen this behaviour previously or since (it had always 
been after using OW for a bit), and subsequently opened windows were the 
right size.

I haven't obliterated OW's .plist yet to see if that will help, although 
I'm also not sure if that would be worth a go...?

Also, does this trigger any memories for you others that have seen this?

Cheers, Nathan.
