So, the windowBoundingRect actually only applies to the main monitor 
(where 'the screen of stack "X" = 1' so you actually need to consider 
windowBoundingRect deprecated and use the working screenRects or the 
effective working screenRects (I may have my adjectives in the wrong 
order!) and compare the screen of the stack in question to the line in 
the returned screenRects for a bounding rect equivalent.

It is an oddity (bug) where certain windows in HyperRESEARCH are not 
redrawing their contents properly when the maximize icon in the title 
bar is clicked and the window maximized. However, if you resize the 
window to the maximum size, everything is redrawn correctly. I was 
asking about the maximize message as it may have aided in debugging the 
issue - if there was such a message sent. This is also only on macOS. 
The same windows maximize correctly whether resized manually or the 
maximize icon in the title bar is clicked. Also, I have not determined 
if this behavior started happening on some specific version of macOS yet.

In theory, as you stated, there should be no difference between resizing 
a stack/window manually and clicking the maximize icon.
