Thanks, everyone, for the replies. The decorations on the stack were
already set to none, so that wasn't it. When I set the monitor
resolution to 640x480 and asked for the windowBoundingRect in the
message box, it returned the screenrect, as it is supposed to, adjusted
to accomodate the Mac menubar. So that wasn't it. What appears to have
been happening is that the stack actually resized itself when running at
a lower resolution. If I put "set the width of this stack to 640" into
the message box, it expanded to fill the screen. At larger monitor
resolutions, the stack displayed its full width and height
automatically, but at the lower resolution it resized itself improperly.
The stack was developed entirely in a larger monitor resolution, but had
never been saved at a lower one. So I set the correct dimensions via the
message box and saved the stack while running at the lower resolution.
That seems to have fixed it. I can now open the stack in any resolution
and it appears at its complete size.
Looks like a glitch somewhere, but explicitly saving while running at
the lower resolution seems to solve the problem. This was a converted
HyperCard stack, so maybe that has something to do with it.
