The cause may be the menubar as others have noted, but it may also be 
that the engine's setting of the windowBoundingRect and how that affects 
the window buffer.

By default, the windowBoundingRect is set to the largest screen size 
available after subtracting room for the various OS trimmings (Task Bar 
on Win, menu bar and Dock on Mac).

The window buffer is apparently sized to match the windowBoundingRect, 
since of course it wouldn't make much sense to buffer larger than can be 
displayed.  The side-effect of this is that a stack larger than the 
windowBoundingRect may appear in a window cropped to match the 
windowBoundingRect.

The default windowBoundingRect is a customary size which makes sense for 
most apps, governing among other things the maximum size you get when 
you click the window's zoomBox.  But if you need a stack larger than the 
system default, you'll need to change it to the size you want, and then 
adjust your stack to match:

   on preOpenStack
     set the windowBoundingRect to the screenRect
     set the rect of this stack to the screenRect
     pass preOpenStack
   end preOpenStack

That assumes of course you were looking to make a full-screen stack.  If 
not, then just replace screenRect with whatever rect you're after.
