Default card size

[Phil Davis]

Hi Robert,

Try this in a button on a different stack:

on mouseUp
   answer file "Pick the problem stack:"
   if it = empty then exit mouseUp

   lock messages
   go stack it
   unlock messages
end mouseUp


If this makes your problem go away, it means there's code somewhere that is 
setting the size of your stack at 'open' time.


Another thought: Does the problem stack have a menubar, and you're running on a 
Mac? If both things are true, you might save the rest of your hair by adding a 
line of code in the preOpenStack handler that sets the height of your stack.

food for thought...
