I have an app that stores the height of the main stack as a custom property.
This main stack is called from a splash stack in the standalone.
During preopencard I check the property and set the size of the mainstack
accordingly.
If there is no cp I set it to a default value.
The user can change this and the app will store the new value.
This almost works in that the cp is set and if the size is changed the stack
does remember there is a change.
However every time it opens it gets bigger by what I think is 22 pixels.
I am on a Mac.
What's weird is that if I check the cp value, it is as expected.
If I check the stack height (in the property inspector,) it is as expected.
It is the bottom of the stack that moves, all controls staying correct in their
relationship to the top of the window.
Now interestingly, if I use the resizing function to set the height of the
stack to what I thought it should be, and what the cp and the property
inspector of the stack (height) tells me it is, the stack shrinks back to what
it should be and the stack height as displayed in the property inspector
remains the same!
Can anyone suggest what might be happening?
Given the increase looks suspiciously like the menu at height could this be
playing a part? I have discounted that as only the bottom of the stack seems to
move. All controls stay put.
This sounds like the inverse of an old bug that used to truncate the
stack height by the height of the menu bar. I understand that was fixed
a while back, but maybe this is a regression that produces the opposite
result. The original bug only happened on stacks that had their
destroystack property set to true, and setting it to false was the
workaround. You could tinker with that and see if it makes a difference.
Sounds like a bug to me though and probably should be reported.
