Don't add the menu group to the regular background group - trust me, much misery.

What happens? Just curious, I've never tried it.

Once you turn off the editMenus the bottom of the menu group is used to determine where the stack's crop-and-scroll takes place to hide the menubar on Mac OS.

The engine apparently presumes the menu group will always be a separate group, so if the menu group is inside another group and that enclosing group fills the card, the bottom of that enclosing group is the bounds for the crop-and-scroll and so the card is reduced to just the title bar.

This can only be done by explicit user actions and is easily avoidable, but for completeness should probably be BZ'd anyway, with perhaps a caveat added to the docs not to do that.

It seems reasonable to me that a person would attempt to put a menu group within a background group of an imported HC stack to automatically have their menu group on all cards without having to do a "place" on each. I believe that's what Paul was doing at the time, and to prevent others from walking down the same confusing road a little footnote in the docs would help.
