Window resizing before open?

Frank,

On Mac platforms at least, there are two things one should NOT do in 
preOpenStack: (1.)  Reference a stack menu control and (2) set stack 
height.

The engine activates stack menus somewhere in the transition between 
preOpenStack & openStack; so unless you address a menu button as a 
button control, it is unknown to the engine at preOpenStack...or 
worse yet, the menus .

An ancillary effect of this is that any stack height settings done in 
preOpenStack are changed when the menus are activated on Mac OS.

So keep stack height changes out of preOpen handlers (or don't use 
menus), and if you must address menus in preOpenStack, address them 
as buttons, not menus.
