Bill,
One trick I've learned that keeps the other controls from shifting up
is to hide your menu group first, and then set as menubar on Mac OS.
Of course, if this app has to run on Windows as well, you'll have to
show the menu group via your code if the platform is "Win32".
Otherwise, no menus. :-) But this has worked for me in the past. I'm
not sure if this is a "bug" or "undocumented feature" or what, or
whether or not it will always be possible, but for now it has gotten
me out of a couple pickles myself.
hth,
Chris

I have been happily developing a stack with menus. To make life
simpler with the IDE I didn't have them "Set as menubar on Mac OS"
in the Menu Builder dialog box. This put the stack menus on the
screen but left the IDE menus available for me to use and has
worked great up to now.
I'm about finished with the stack so I checked the box then all
hell broke loose.
1. Everything shifted up when the menus were removed. I sort of
expected this and thought that I could simply move everything down
appropriately and get on with life. (BTW it would be nice if it
didn't shift everything up.) Perhaps there is a way to avoid this.
2. As I start to move things back down, dragging the fields,
buttons, etc. sometimes it works but sometimes it leaves trailing
images. Also the screen doesn't update itself properly (blank areas
where there should be something and/or editing a group shows
objects not in the group). These almost always result in the IDE
crashing. Sometimes reopening the last saved version of the stack
(which looked ok before the save) opens the window much shorter
than what it should.
I'll contact RunRev about this for support but I'm in a pickle on
this and was wondering if anyone else has seen this and, even
better, has a fix for it.
I've tried on a different computer thinking my copy of Rev had
suddenly gone off but the problem persisted so I think the stack is
getting corrupted somehow. Developing on Mac OS X latest version
and Rev latest version all Transcript (i.e. no externals etc.).
