Resize Stack Differences on Mac and Windows

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Ray,

It depends on the 'liveResizing' property of the stack.
The calculations needed to resize the content of the stack can be time-consuming.
And on Mac redrawing the window takes longer than on WIndows/Unix.

So the default behaviour on Mac is not to send 'resizeStack' messages unless you specifically turn 'liveResizing' on.

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.

 I'm not sure how many versions back
 this goes but apparently the following script works
 differently on a Mac and Windows with 6.5.2:
 
    on resizeStack
       put the ticks
    end resizeStack
 
 On Windows the message is sent continually as long as the
 mouse is down and I'm resizing the stack.  On a Mac the
 resizeStack message is sent just once when I let the mouse
 up after resizing the stack.
 
 Does anybody have any experience with this anomaly?
