Would someone please try to debug this?

Has this ever been fixed?
Not to my knowledge. I don't have the latest CVS snapshot, however.
It's trivial to verify (although I'm using Windows).

This bug was apparently never fixed. To reproduce, simply resize a frame
horizontally so that the menu-bar wraps, then change the 'left frame
parameter.
(setq left-pos (cdr (assq 'left (frame-parameters))))
(modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame)
(list (cons 'left (+ 30 left-pos))))
The frame moves down, as well as right.
This is annoying if you have, for instance, a key bound to a
command to move
the frame right. Repeated use of this key sends the frame downward
diagonally. Use of the complementary key to move the frame left sends it
downward as well, so the two are not even inverses if the
menu-bar wraps.
Similarly, a command to move the frame up sends it down
instead. So, if you
have keys bound to commands that move it up and down, the up movement is
down instead - the two are not inverses if the menu-bar wraps.

the intention of the following code
(setq fpx (cdr (assoc 'left (frame-parameters))))
(setq fpy (cdr (assoc 'top (frame-parameters))))
(setq fpx (+ 1 fpx))
(set-frame-position (next-frame) fpx fpy)
is to move the frame honizontally 1 pixel right;
but as a side-effect I get a vertical move as well.
Is there something wrong with my code?
The code looks OK to me.
Is your menu-bar (or tool-bar) wider than your frame, so
that it wraps around? That will cause the behavior you describe.
Actually, now that I think of it, we should probably consider
this an Emacs bug, so I'm cc'ing the emacs-devel list. Thanks for
bringing this up - I've been aware of it for a long time, but it
never occurred to me to file a bug.
Bug: If menu-bar is wider than frame, so it wraps, then
set-frame-position gets it wrong, in the manner described above.
