Okay, from the shell try the following line to see what size TM has  
stored to use for new projects:

     defaults read com.macromates.textmate OakProjectWindowFrame

If this seems bogus, delete it by executing (while TM is not running):

     defaults delete com.macromates.textmate OakProjectWindowFrame

This won’t fix existing projects though, these have a ‘windowFrame’  
setting embedded in them -- you can open the project file from  
terminal (with mate) to read the XML file and locate the  
‘<key>windowFrame</key>’ followed by a string near the bottom, and  
simply delete these two lines.

If the problem turns out to be bogus window frames, let me know if  
you ever use a dual monitor setup (and I will btw add some integrity  
checks for windows sizes ;) ).
