Stack sizes and menus

[Doug Lerner]

Do you people find that the stack size in Windows apps are hard to predict
when menu groups are in place?

I am using OS X for development. When there are no menus in a stack the size
seems correct in Windows, but when there is a menu, weird things happen like
a lot of extra space above the menu in the Windows app.

Are there any best practices for dealing with this situation?
