If the stack's formatForPrinting property is true, the setting of the windowBoundingRect property is ignored when the stack is opened or maximized.

It's a necessary design decision. Normally the windowBoundingRect prevents stacks from exceeding the screen boundaries. On smaller screens, a stack representing a full-sized page of text (11 inches tall) might well exceed the boundaries of the windowBoundingRect. If the stack is to be printed, the whole height of the card has to be displayed even if it is taller than the screen and extends visually beyond it. Stacks opened for printing ignore the screen boundaries as a convenience, and they open at their full height (or width) which ensures that the entire card contents will print.

Often, the stack is opened 'off screen' and the user never even sees it while it's being printed. This is a great way to add resolution to images while printing.
