<div>Okay, so this stack was supposed to be a simple one, no sweating
for the new MC or Rev...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>(laughing)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There is no such thing as a simple stack...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The stack is for me only, it is not likely to ever be released.
So it is configured to make me happy. The dimensions are
1131x814.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On the new Macintel, opening the stack produces the following in
three MC versions:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>MC 2.4.3 - Opens exactly as I left it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>MC 2.7.3 - Opens with dimensions 1092x814 (makes room for the
Dock - which is always visible). I change the dimensions to
1131x814 and save the stack. Quit out of MC. Relaunch.
Reopen the stack. No matter what I do, on reopening the stack,
it resized to 1092x814. Tried setting the min and max width of
the stack as well as setting the Resizeable to false. No
go.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Rev 2.7.3 - Opens with dimensions of 1092x786 (makes room for the
dock and presumably a menubar? Even though it has a menubar?)
I change the dimensions to 1131x814 and save the stack. Set the
min and max width to the desired dimensions. Set the Resizeable
to false. Save and quit. Relaunch. It is again
resized to the smaller size. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So far, the 2.7.3 engine is not allowing me to have the stack
dimensions that I want. It keeps resizing the stack.
Interesting that the MC IDE and Rev IDE change the dimensions in
different ways.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Final solution (a workaround):</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>on preOpenStack<br>
set the height of this stack to 814<br>
set the width of this stack to 1131<br>
set the topleft of this stack to "20,48"<br>
end preOpenStack<br>
</div>
