Okay, this was driving me batty, so I developed an AppleScript workaround.
______________________________________________________________________
Hey There,
I looked through the thread and don't notice that anyone suggested setting the 'Default Text Window' in the Window menu, but perhaps I missed that.
The simplest Applescript method around this dilemma is:
------------------------------------
tell application "TextWrangler"
tell front window
set position to {0, 44}
set zoomed to true
end tell
end tell
------------------------------------
Zoomed will respect the Dock-state.
You can change front to every if you need to adjust a lot of windows at once.
Create a script with the Applescript Editor, put it in TextWrangler's Script Menu, give it a keyboard shortcut, and go to town.
