Maximizing window on Windows positions it slightly off screen

[niik]

This is out title bar when window is not maximized

Make note of the margin between the top of the app icon and the window edge

This is the same title bar when the app is maximized

Calling getPosition on the BrowserWindow instance seems to indicate that we're positioned 8px to the left and 8px above from the screen top left edge

The size is also wrong

On my monitor the size of a maximized window should be 2560x1400 (full width and -40px to account for the Windows task bar) but it seems to be 16px too large both on the x and y axis.

There's a 16px magic number in the electron code base that I suspect might have something to do with it but it could just be a coincidence as well.

cc @kevinsawicki, this seems to be a problem with electron, I'm gonna see if I can make a small reproduction repository and then open an issue on Electron

I think this is electron/electron#8728 whose fix just landed: electron/electron#9167

sigh, 10 seconds after I submitted electron/electron#9184 😢

https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v1.6.7 is out which should have the fix.

Testing this with 1.6.7 looks better when maximized:

Here's the same console output that @niik used to troubleshoot - I gather the [-7,-7] position when maximized is fine and represents the 7px margin around the whole window, but I'll defer to @niik.

And [${screen.width}, ${screen.height}] returns "[1440, 900]" which would represent the start menu that we can't draw underneath.
