As Richard explained, this window resizing is how Metacard allows for the difference between Windows and Mac menu placement. Depending on what you want to do, there may be a cure. If you want to have a Mac style menubar (top of screen), but don't want the window to resize: after creating the menubar group, and while it is visible at the top of the window (i.e. Edit Menus is checked in the stack properties) remove the group from the card (Backgrounds dialog). Then uncheck Edit Menus. The menu should now appear in standard Mac style but the window will remain the same size across platforms. (To edit the menu later, you will need to place the group on the card again.) If you want the menu to appear Windows style at the top of the window (sacrilege for many on this list :)), then remove the group name from the Menu Bar field in the stack properties (or "set the menubar of stack <stackname> to empty").
