Well, this may be an issue of semantics. "Planning for it" means
leaving enough space at the top of a stack so that when it scrolls on
the Mac none of the data will be hidden. I like the substack idea,
though, and I may come back to revisit this some day. Nonetheless, I
agree with the comments that this should be easier. Menus are a basic
part of the OS and it shouldn't be this much work fiddling with things
to provide cross-platform functionality.
