bug#28536: 26.0.60; cannot set frame geometry, plus weirdness

[Nick Helm]

Emacs does not set frame geometry parameters correctly:

  Emacs -Q

  (frame-parameter nil 'width)  -> 75
  (frame-parameter nil 'height) -> 35
  ;this is already odd as default geometry should be 80x36

  (set-frame-parameter nil 'width 105)

  (frame-parameter nil 'width)  -> 100 ;width is incorrect
  (frame-parameter nil 'height) -> 35

Setting frame width also seems to somehow influence frame height:

  (set-frame-parameter nil 'width 105)
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'width 105) 
  ;set frame width a few more times
  ;the frame pixel height changes by a fraction of a char each time

  (frame-parameter nil 'width)  -> 100
  (frame-parameter nil 'height) -> 34  ;height changed
