Thanks to Jacqueline and Chris. They both gave me clues.
What I did to fix it was simply delete the menu group entirely. When
you do that Rev asks if you want to move everything back up and
delete the objects. I said no and it didn't move anything but it did
delete the menus. I don't know which objects it was talking about as
I can't seem to find any left over.
I then recreated the menu (it wasn't very extensive) with the scripts
I had saved before the deletion.
It did move my header group quite a bit down (the wrong amount) but
this time it didn't seem to mind me moving it back where it belongs.
So far, so good.
I'll try to make a feature request for the Menu Builder to offer not
to move things. I have a feeling that this trips up a number of folks
and it looks like Rev knows how to prevent the problem.

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,

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.).
