Chrome window size increases by 1 pixel on restart

[Satoshi Yagi]

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS with latest updates applied.

I've been noticing a bizarre issue, started about a week or so ago (5/20/20 give or take). When I launch the Chrome browser, close and open again, the resulting window size is bigger by one pixel on either direction (x and y axis).

Steps to reproduce would be as follows.

1. Launch Chrome browser with the window size specified:
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --window-size=600,400

2. Take a look at ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences JSON file and look for "window_placement":{"bottom":401,"left":0,"maximized":false,"right":601,"top":0

Next time you repeat the process, the size would be 602, 402 and so on.

I don't think this is a Chrome issue for several reasons:
a) I didn't notice this issue until very recently, and I've been using 20.04 since GA.
b) I installed a whole bunch of DEs this weekend (Cinnamon, Xfce, gnome-flashback etc etc) but did not observe the issue.

It's possible this is an issue with MATE, though unlikely as MATE's version hasn't really changed since GA (1.24).

Thank you,

Satoshi
