William, after some extensive testing of Lion, I conclude that Lion behaves better than Snow Leopard in regard to the available size a stack can take up. I can only surmise that when you upgraded to Lion your Dock settings changed, in particular the default size prior to any magnification effect.
I request you remove your Bug report from QCC, unless someone can prove otherwise. Here are my tests run from the LC IDE, I thought the fact the screen Rez on my wife's Lion MacMini was different than my SnoLeo MBP was going to be a problem, but as you'll see it proves LC's behaviour is very consistent. SnoLeo numbers on the left/Lion numbers on the right. Snow Leopard Screen 1920x1200 Lion Screen 1920x1080 Dock at LEFT Dock set to the Largest Size Magnification set to Max Automatically hide and show ON No LC Toolbar Text No LC Toolbar Icons Stack Height: 1116/996 84/84 pixels less than screen height 62/62 pixels less than working screen height 34/34 pixels less than window boundary height Change: Dock at BOTTOM Stack Height: 1112/992 88/88 pixels less than screen height 62/62 pixels less than working screen height 34/34 pixels less than window boundary height Change: Automatically hide and show OFF Stack Height: 991/885 209/195 pixels less than screen height (Lion is better) 62/62 pixels less than working screen height 34/34 pixels less than window boundary height Change: Dock set to the Smallest Size Change: Magnification set to OFF Stack Height: 1083/963 117/117 pixels less than screen height 62/62 pixels less than working screen height 34/34 pixels less than window boundary height Change: Magnification set to Max Stack Height: 1083/963 117/117 pixels less than screen height 62/62 pixels less than working screen height 34/34 pixels less than window boundary height Change: Dock set to the Largest Size Change: Show LC Toolbar Text Change: Show LC Toolbar Icons Stack Height: 967/861 233/219 pixels less than screen height (Lion is better) 86/86 pixels less than working screen height 34/34 pixels less than window boundary height To Summarise; The tallest Stack is achieved by having the Dock on the left or right - only 84 pixels lost. Moving the Dock to the bottom with Auto Hide On, you lose another 4 pixels - 88. Turning Auto Hide Off, with the Size at Smallest, regardless of Magnification, you lose another 29 pixels - 117. Increasing the Size of the Dock Icons increases the pixels lost, at Max Size you lose 92 pixels on SnoLeo but less, 78 pixels on Lion - 209/195 !!! Turning LiveCode's Tool Text and Tool Icons ON loses an additional 24 pixels - but this would not be valid for standalones. Therefore, you can lose 0 to 149 pixels (135 for Lion) of stack height depending on your Dock settings, but either way, Lion is better than Snow Leopard. I assume the case is similar for stack width if you have the dock set at Left or Right. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
