Window Resizing Head-scratcher...

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Jason,
Although I 'was' trying to make room for the menus and dock I still had 
the same problem when resizing my own screen from the 1024x down to 
800x. I tried hiding the menus etc. and still had the same problem you 
found. So the underlying issue was the same.
I also noticed it only affected the main window (no. 2 below) and not 
substacks and that it was only a Mac OSX issue. I would consider that a 
'bug' in my opinion.
I will try your work around and see if that fixes it here.

Did you play around with the "Try setting the windowBoundingRect to the 
screenRect" as was suggested? I did and did not see the expected 
results at all... I think that is for something different.

Thanks again,
Tom
