In my experience stack menus work perfectly UNLESS the height of the 
stack being poppsed up is greater than the monitor height.

AFAIK Rev truncates stack rendering to the largest possible size, which 
will be within the monitor bounds.  But of course some popup stacks may 
exceed that, so while that limit doesn't affect most things it becomes 
an error with popup stacks.

If your stack that's popping up properly is taller than your monitor it 
would be good to know, so I can update the notes in my bug report.
