New submission from Peter J <peterj.13...@gmail.com>:

the root.geometry() top-level window method returns strings like 
"212x128+-9+-8" when the window is located in the top left corner. The 
documentation only describes geometry strings containing + or - location 
coordinates. If this is correct behaviour, the documentation should provide a 
better description of the syntax - perhaps a regular expression such as: 
"\d+x\d+(\+|-|\+-)\d+(\+|-|\+-)\d+" and some text indicating that a +- 
coordinate indicates a value to the left of or above the screen.

Tested Linux Mint 18, Python 3.5.3, tkinter 8.6

Behaviour is consistent with python 2.7 Tkinter 8.6
