Mac Studio 2.7.3 users out there, does Studio resize your saved stacks when you later reopen them? That is it thinks you have a Win Taskbar and clips the stack height to account for it. I can't even imagine why Rev would touch a users stack behind a developer's back. That is a big no-no. An

Andrew, In my experience, this problem appears when trying to add menus to a stack that already has cards. Putting the menu group inside the stack background group does NOT help - actually makes it worse. If possible, create a new single card stack, build your menus, and import the other cards.

Well, I've had some interesting experiences recording sound into Revolution (Studio 2.7.2). Here's what I've found: 1. If I set the inputsource to "dflt" on my g4 powerbook, and try to record, I get audio files that sounds like pigs on acid. I'm sure my students would find this entertaining, but
