Windows gets shorter and shorter and shorter...

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

I finally fixed this in one of my stacks by sticking a 'set the height 
of stack "<name>" to <size>' into its preOpenStack handler.  Just be 
sure to use the size of the window *before* the menu bar height is 
taken off.  The height property in the preOpenStack handler is the 
height before taking off the menu bar, and the height in the openStack 
handler is the height *after* taking the menu bar off, under 
MacOS/MacOS X.  On other platforms, they should match.

I suspect the problem is that the height property is being reduced 
between the scripts to accommodate the  menu bar, and is being saved 
that way (reduced) for some reason.  Could easily be wrong though, 
that's just the first thing that comes to my mind based on the 
behavior.

Use the preOpenStack handler, rather than the openStack handler, to 
ensure that the window is the correct size on all platforms, otherwise 
the bottom gets chopped off on non-Mac platforms if you don't provide 
special handling.
