That's because I replied only to the list, as I normally do here.

As I wrote, this is the expected behavior on Windows 10/11.

The somewhat unexpected part is not how Windows positions the frame,
but the fact that the frame doesn't get focus when the mouse is at
(0,0).  It does on my system, so I presume something on your system
prevents it from doing that.  I suggest to investigate why the frame
doesn't get focus, because that's the only problem I see in your
description.
