A followup to my message on same thread, posted a few minutes ago, in reply to Paul. Further investigation reveals this anomaly: If I make the stack height a little too big, so the stack crops itself when it opens, and I then click on the little glowing green button at the upper left of the LC

Hi Paul, I'm on OS 10.6.8 I'll bet it's the dock. Wait. I'll try it right now... Oopsie! Same issue with the dock on the left. For now, this behavior is replicable. Trial and error: If I set the height to 717, close and reopen, it stays at 717. Same for 718. If I set it to 719, close and re-o

FYI, on a mac, the the working screenrect gives you the screenrect minus the height of the mac menubar (22). Does this work for you? on preopenstack set the width of this stack to 612 set the height of this stack to 792 set the top of this stack to 110 -- or whatever end preopenstack When

What I did a long time ago to resolve this is I created a background graphic the size I wanted my window to be. The stack always seems to open at the right size now. Bob On Aug 10, 2011, at 1:29 PM, Timothy Miller wrote: > My query from earlier this morning is generating a non-flurry of repl

Hi Tim, If the stack is taller (or wider) than governed by the windowBoundingRect, it will be automatically chopped off. I do not like it... Been that way for ever. :-( Cheers, Malte ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please

My query from earlier this morning is generating a non-flurry of replies, likely because no one knows the answer. I have solved the problem with a simple preOpenStack handler, which works fine. However, I feel this issue must represent a gap in my knowledge, which I would like to close. Furthe
