i had similar trouble when trying to open a 1024*768 stack on an iMac
with exactly that monitor-solution.
There were always about 20 px missing at the bottom.
Big fun, if you placed your buttons in that area...
I think it has something to do with the windowboundingrect !!!
Take a look in the index.
For me, it worked, when i forced the windowboundingrect to be
the screenrect (although i hate to be brute... ;-) e.g in an
preopenstack-handler:
on preopenstack
set the windowboundingrect to the screenrect ###!!!!!
set the navigationarrows to false
set the decorations of me to empty
set the backdrop to "black"
hide menubar
get the effective filename of this stack
set the itemdel to "/"
delete last item of it
set the directory to it
set the loc of me to the screenloc ####!!!!!
end .....
But that was a bit easier before Version 2.3.2 (where the
windowboundingrect was introduced...)...
Hope this helps...
