Of course not. It might be a bug, but before we go there we can notice
that difference sounds suspiciously like the height of the Mac OS title bar.
In all xTalks "the rect" of a stack refers only to its content region.
In older xTalks (and older versions of LC) proper window placement
required us to hard-wire values for the Mac title bar, and query the Win
registry for that platform, and adjust accordingly.
LiveCode now does this for us with "the effective rect", which accounts
for the platform-specific window trimmings (title bar, borders, etc.).
