Rev vs Metacard GUI

[Shari]

Okay, so this stack was supposed to be a simple one, no sweating for 
the new MC or Rev...

(laughing)

There is no such thing as a simple stack...

The stack is for me only, it is not likely to ever be released.  So 
it is configured to make me happy.  The dimensions are 1131x814.

On the new Macintel, opening the stack produces the following in 
three MC versions:

MC 2.4.3 - Opens exactly as I left it.

MC 2.7.3 - Opens with dimensions 1092x814 (makes room for the Dock - 
which is always visible).  I change the dimensions to 1131x814 and 
save the stack.  Quit out of MC.  Relaunch.  Reopen the stack.  No 
matter what I do, on reopening the stack, it resized to 1092x814. 
Tried setting the min and max width of the stack as well as setting 
the Resizeable to false.  No go.

Rev 2.7.3 - Opens with dimensions of 1092x786 (makes room for the 
dock and presumably a menubar?  Even though it has a menubar?)  I 
change the dimensions to 1131x814 and save the stack.  Set the min 
and max width to the desired dimensions.  Set the Resizeable to 
false.  Save and quit.  Relaunch.  It is again resized to the smaller 
size.

So far, the 2.7.3 engine is not allowing me to have the stack 
dimensions that I want.  It keeps resizing the stack.  Interesting 
that the MC IDE and Rev IDE change the dimensions in different ways.

Final solution (a workaround):

on preOpenStack
   set the height of this stack to 814
   set the width of this stack to 1131
   set the topleft of this stack to "20,48"
end preOpenStack
