Your stack needs to account for the space used by the menu bar and the 
dock. If the screen resolution is 800x600 then the actual available room 
on screen for the stack will be less. See the windowBoundingRect 
property for information about the available screen space for a stack. 
The windowBoundingRect is set by default to the amount of space that is 
left after various OS interface elements are accounted for. You can 
reset that property, but on a Mac the menu bar will always take up some 
real estate, and so will the dock. I imagine what you are seeing is Rev 
trying to accomodate these items while still displaying as much of your 
stack as possible.
