With the default font size, when I:
 - use a term on my left monitor, and
 - create an xfce4-terminal on the right monitor with this geometry:

    xfce4-terminal --geometry 80x90+1920+0

then the new terminal is created with rows 134 (rather than 90).


But, if I use a term on my RHS monitor to create the new
xfce5-terminal with that geometry, it has the correct size (80x90).

I believe this is a window manager bug.
