Resizing and geometry

Hi Ken...

In my stack inspector, I have set the minWidth and hight and maxWidth and 
height properties.

Min width 800
min height 600
max width 1024
max height 706

When the stack is in its minWidth/Height form and I try and resize it by 
dragging, I cannot make it any smaller. At this point, I click on the 
*maximize* button and it sets the width to 692 and the height to 596 every 
single time. After this happens, I drag the stack to it's max window size 
and then click on the *minimize* button. This works fine by setting the 
window to it's minimum window size.

Even if I create a brand new stack and perform the same operation, I get the 
same result.

Perhaps that explains it a little better.
Any ideas?

Much appreciated
Nic
