Behavior Disturbing to the Uninitiated

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

After spending most of yesterday afternoon trying to:

A.  Determine why one card in my stack was displaying a smaller 
window than the remaining cards, and

B.  How to get one field on an existing card onto one other card,

I would suggest the Menu Manager tutorial be beefed up to--

1. show the intricacies of working with groups
2. make the point that, in Mac O/S, cards that have a menu group will 
display a smaller window than cards that do not.

Specifically, when the menu is created, the tutorial should discuss 
setting the background property so the menu will appear on all cards 
created in the stack and mention that if that isn't done different 
size windows will result on Mac systems..

Also, the tutorial should proceed to the Application Overview, show 
the user the menu group that was created, and explain how to create & 
edit groups.  (I spent hours looking at half the App Overview screen 
before I realized the info I need was displayed only after I hit a 
tiny show/hide detail button.)

FWIW, I'm not crazy about the Menu Manager's approach to menus.  Is 
there not some way (eg: make the controls invisible or position them 
off screen) to do this without messing up window size?  Unless you 
place menus first, all control positioning will be off on every 
screen menus are added to after-the-fact.
