Hi Bob, It was Toplevel not Modal. I removed all controls one by one - no go. I opened it in version 8 , still the same. Was going back to six but I tried a long shot - and prayed.
I set the scale factor back to 1 (I'm developing on a height of 1280) and the controls could be seen. Then I put the scale back but dropped a control closer to the right edge and I could just see it. So basically when the stack is scaled controls can be dropped on to it but will not be added unless a small part of it can be seen at the edge. For example at a scale of .7 if I "placed" a button on the right side of my stack it was "dropped" to the very left but higher up and I could see it. If I changed the scale to .6 try as I might it was always "dropped" "off stack" and not added. I just went back and tried this on version 6 and the "drop" position is pretty much the "placed" position with or without scaling. One extra little "recipe" for this to fail on 9 is that it is also dependant on where on the screen the stack is. If the stack is to the left of the screen a button dropped on the right edge will become visible and will this be "dropped" at the left edge. So I would not have noticed this problem when my stack was over to the left of my screen. Is this an undocumented feature or just a bug?
