Tiger Issues

[Bryan]

Karl,

I too have seen problems with the software windows in Tiger OSX. It
seems to depend on the machine that Tiger is running on too. In some
cases, the window is oversized when the stack opens up with white
showing, and then collapses back down to the correct size when a new
card is opened, on other installations of Tiger the program only
over-sizes when the window is moved using the top bar. Because of the
differences in behavior between installation on different computers, I
thought it might be a system problem that Apple will fix. And I see they
have already released an update, perhaps this fixes the issue? I also
have many standalone stacks out there that were made with 2.4.3
Metacard. It is only a matter of time before customers start asking what
has happened if it doesn't get fixed...
