The best solution I have found is to figure out the size as on Windows/UNIX (go into the menu builder and set the menu bar to display in the window, then use the property inspector on the stack window to check the height), and set the height to this in the preOpenStack handler. No platform checks, no visible resize -- it just works.
And I have been seeing this for a while here, on a mainstack. I eventually just gave up on Rev doing this one right in a standalone (I occasionally saw the stack resized incorrectly in the IDE too, but setting the height this way solved it for both), so I stick this into the "important" stacks I do to take care of that problem, which I would see consistently in standalone mainstacks and substacks.

I have a stack with a menubar. When I try to build a standalone from it, the bottom of the stack is cut off by the height of the menubar. This does not happen if I build in MetaCard, so the problem is apparently with the distribution builder.
I have added a command line in a preopenstack handler to reset the stack size, but that doesn't work either. The stack consistently displays with the bottom edge missing. There are no scripts in the standalone that set the stack dimensions otherwise.
Anyone know what causes this or how to fix it? For now, I am building in MetaCard.
I stumbled across a workaround that seems very reliable. In a preOpenStack handler, resize the stack relative to an object on the first card. It seems that when a stack first opens, its height is unaffected by the menubar and later on it is (or vice versa), so the absolute pixel values for the dimensions vary, but if you use the dimensions of another object to set the stack height, then it all works, no matter what Rev thinks at the time.
In one stack, I have a Mac menubar, and right at the bottom of the stack window, I have a field called "Legal". In the preOpenStack handler, this works perfectly:
set the height of stack "NG_Pod" to the bottom of fld "Legal" + 2
In the IDE, it makes my stack too big, if it calls the preOpenStack (which it usually doesn't), but I don't worry about that, since it always comes good in the built app.
Cheers, Sarah
