I suspect the easiest way to "fix" the menu issue and maintain some of the current flexibility would be:
1. Keep the system as it is, for the most part.
2. When using a group as the Mac menu bar, do not scroll the stack.
3. When using a group as a menubar in the window, scroll and enlarge the stack. Now the rect of the card (for ex.) would have a negative minimum vertical coordinate, since the menus would stop before reaching zero.
Of course, this would break backward compatibility somewhat, but not nearly so much as some of the other proposals, and yet this would fix some of the other problems which have been mentioned here...
I don't understand: as I read that it seems to suggest that all we do is switch the scrolling from Mac to all other OSes, so that instead of the scroll taking place on 2.4% of computers it takes place on 97.6%.
Remember that having the menubar be part of the window rather than detached is how every modern OS works except Mac. We could debate the efficacy of that (Tog has a lot to say in favor of a detached menu bar), but it won't likely change how Windows, GNOME, KDE, X11, and all other non-Mac windowing systems work.
