Okay, if you make a screenshot of the browser window and this gives you
different results for the height and width of whole window this may be
the result of having different toolbar, url bar and button sizes etc.
which is influenced, in part, by your underlying operating system. So,
this is nothing to worry about as long as the values web pages may
retrieve are rounded to multiples of 200 (width) and 100 (height) which
the inner window (i.e. the window only containing the rendered website)
is set to on start-up. Tor Browser reports those values even if for your
browser window (i.e. the window with the website and the toolbar, url
bar etc.)/screen size.
