That's a feature. Maybe it isn't documented clearly enough, but
basically as long as there's a character displayed at that position,
WIDTH and HEIGHT give the dimensions of that character's glyph on
display.
Remember: this stuff was originally designed for mouse clicks, where
it's important to know what did you click on.
