Resize Stack Differences on Mac and Windows

[Ray]

Richard - I have a stack of 'user preferences' which shows the width and 
height of another stack as it's resized.  These numbers which should 
auto update continuously as the user continues to hold the mouse down 
and resize the stack, so unfortunately your suggestion won't work.

However, setting the liveResizing property to true as Jan Schenkel 
suggested makes everything work on the Mac just as it does on Windows.  
Thanks Jan!  An interesting thing about the liveResizing property is 
that it does not get saved with the stack.  Also, setting the 
decorations of the stack resets the liveResizing property to false for 
some reason.

Anyway, its fixed.

Oh, and thanks for requesting this be cleaned up Richard.

Thanks,

Ray
