Stack/card height

[Sarah]

It is a menubar problem. The menubar group is on card 1 but not on the 
others. If you "place" the menubar group on all cards in the stack, 
they will all be the same height.

Effectively, the menubar is hidden by being pushed off the top of your 
window. Card 1 is expanded by 22 pixels to accommodate this. As the 
menubar is stack specific, it displays even though it only occurs on 
card 1.

The crucial rule for Mac development is: Make the menubar FIRST!
Don't make a new stack and then make a menubar, as you will have to 
re-position everything. Also, check that the menubar groups has it's 
backgroundBehavior set to true, so that it will be automatically placed 
on any new cards.

Cheers,
Sarah
