Chrome extension create.window: How to use the height parameter?

I'm trying to use chrome.create.window to get a popup window and something goes wrong.

Here's my background.js code:

chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request) {
if (request.type === 'open_window') {
        chrome.tabs.create({
            url: chrome.extension.getURL('win.html'),
            active: false
        }, function(tab) {
            chrome.windows.create({
                tabId: tab.id,
                type: 'popup',
                height: '200',

                focused: true
            });
        });
}
});

Before I've added height: '200', I got what I wanted: a window jumped out of the browser. When I add this line, the window opens as another tab of the opened window. Why is it ?

Use a number instead of a string:200 → "200". You would know that if you opened the console for the background page:

Uncaught Error: Invalid value for argument 1. Property 'height': Expected 'integer' but got 'string'.

I suggest to use the url option with chrome.windows.create, because it's slightly more efficient:

chrome.windows.create({
    url: chrome.extension.getURL('win.html'),
    type: 'popup',
    height: 200,
    focused: true
});
