Research direction

Start at the geometry("400x170-0-0") entry point and trace how window-position offsets are interpreted. Compare the behavior with standard Tkinter geometry handling. Done means negative and positive zero offsets produce the expected lower-right or top-left placement without callers calculating positions themselves.

Description

bug

Hi,

writing a code like this
self.geometry("400x170-0-0")
puts the window in the top left, as does +0+0, but it should place it in the lower right, which would be considered standard Tkinter behavior.

Can this be changed? I do not want to start calculating for such easy things
