HI Mark, I guess it's a case of "once bitten, twice shy". As mentioned, I had weird problems trying to use it last time around and now I can't get past the first screen without a problem so I just don't trust it.
I didn't uncheck the box, it was already unchecked. I also tried checking it, which resulted in all my controls being moved down, which I don't want either. I'm building menus that will be displayed in the OS X menu bar, not within my stacks, so there is no need to move controls anywhere. If there's a way to create these menus manually by creating a group, I'm more than happy to do that to avoid the bugginess. IS ther a write up on that anywhere?
