Distribution builder alters stack window size?

I've recently run into this same problem. The distribution builder is 
supposed to create systems that are platform aware. So that on a PC, the 
stack is enlarged to show the menus at the top of the window, but on a 
Mac, the same stack is shrunk to hide the menus since they appear in the 
menu bar.

For some reason, on my last build, it didn't seem to work very well. My 
Windows stack had the bottom of the stack cut off (but the Mac stack was 
ok).

So, I decided to simply control this stuff myself. It's very easy.

Within the On Openstack handler:

if the platform = "win32" then -- adjust the stack to the size you want 
for Windows
  set the height of this stack to [whatever you need]
else -- Now handle the Mac platform
  set the height of this stack to [the appropriate Mac height]
end if

Note that in my case, I'm only developing for Mac or PC so my little 
check doesn't take into account the Unix platform.
