I’m on OS X, and NS Emacs uses the native full-screen support there, so Emacs isn’t managing the pixel size directly.

And indeed it’s only in that native full-screen mode that window-size doesn’t get updated for me, so perhaps that’s the only real problem here.

Given that window-width returns a number based on both the current frame/window size and the width of the ‘default face, then if the value is going to be stored for later re-use, any change to the default face should also cause it to be recomputed.

What I’m picking up is that only frame/window size changes currently cause that recomputation, hence this issue.
