Vertical loc coordinates blind in Linux ?

Dear Rev-Linux connoisseurs

I am facing an unexpected problem, when I test in Linux the rev-application I have been developing over many years for Mac and Windows.
A most crucial substack is covering an area of 3072 x 2329, permitting the user to jump and operate between 9 windows on the same card –and to browse back and forth in that stack from the viewpoint of any of those windows.

The handling of this jumping is scripted differently in mac and windows: e.g.

on toworkplacewindow
lock screen
if the platform is "MacOS" then
set the loc of this window to the screenloc
set the rect of this window to "-2047,-1520,1025,760"
else
set the topleft of topstack to -2047,-1570
end if
set the phenowindow of this stack to workplacewindow
end toworkplacewindow

or

on tobodywindow
lock screen
if the platform is "MacOS" then
set the loc of this window to the screenloc
set the rect of this window to "6,-755,3078,1549"
else
set the topleft of topstack to 0, -795
end if
set the phenowindow of this stack to bodywindow
end tobodywindow

However I now find, that neither the mac-way nor the window-way is working right in my Ubuntu 8,10

The horizontal displacements are made, but the vertical are neglected.

I find it hard to believe, that there should not be a solution to this problem ?????
