I think it's an OS X quirk, as I've noticed it on my multi-monitor
setup as well. However, I've had that for years, and this is a recent
thing so I think it's a change in OS X that's causing it.

What I've found is that the window is actually perfectly normal and
works fine, except that it defaults to a position such that the title
bar is obscured behind the OS X menu bar, giving it the appearance of
full screen mode on part of the screen.

It's on my TODO list to investigate further, but I have been wondering
if it is caused by the vertical height offsets in the monitors - in my
case I have 2 23" monitors on the center and left, and my laptop
screen on the right. The broken windows spawn on the laptop screen
which is aligned (roughly) so that that bottom lines up with the
bottom of the monitors. However, the monitors have higher vertical
resolution than the laptop screen, meaning that their tops are at a
higher position.
