I see. The reason for the difference is that the "Rect attributes" dialog shows you the raw SVG coordinates, while the top panel shows user corrdinates. The difference between them is typically a 0.8 multiplier (ask Mental about the origin of that multiplier, I'm not entirely sure) and the Y axis being turned upside down (for user, 0,0 is the lower left corner, but in SVG it's the top left corner). There were discussions about converging these two coordinate systems, but I'm not sure about the current status of that.
I think we all decided it was a Good Idea but it never made it into the plan.
