<pre>Besides the subject of this "bug", the properties of a Figure are still confusing. The information of size and position are dispatched in figure_size
and figure_position properties and correspond to the "outer" position of the figure, i.e. taking into account toolbars and window manager
decorations. It is still impossible to know the screen coordinates of the figure usable canvas, btw incorrectly denoted "axes" in the "axes_size"
property ! Sorry to mention this other software once again, but the Matlab model of "Position" and "OuterPosition" property is very explicit. At
least the Matlab model of "Position" is used in Scilab e.g. for uicontrols. However, having these two different models is very confusing for users.
Moreover the coordinate systems is different for a figure (origin is top left of the screen) and uicontrols (origin is at bottom left of the canvas).</pre>
