[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Yikes! My stack doesn't look like that!

O.K., more 2.0v2 problems.  First, if I double click on a small stack (say
9", then open something larger (say a custom stack of maybe 9"x12"), I get
ye old scroll windoid minus the ability to resize to fit the larger stack
on the screen all at the same time.  I've tried looking in the manuals but
no go.  However, if I start up with home, everything works fine?  What's up?

Second problem.  Try this one yourself.  Make a background all one color (say
gray).  Now, do some drawing in the foreground.  I did two things and both
produced the same result.  The first is drawing two sides of a rectangle with
the line tool, and then using the paintbrush in the single pixel size color
white to do the other two sides.  Now use the lasso to encircle the picture,
and copy it.  If you leave the card, the white lines disappear.  Why???

O.K., think it's a fluke?  Try this:  Put a button with an icon into the
background.  Now use the pencil to cover every other pixel in the button.
Go to the background, delete the button, come back, and things don't look
right.  lasso and...wait a second...about half of the re-pixeled pixels are
missing!  Try painting the region in the background that is under the picture
a different color - say white to see exactly what pixels are lit and no help.
So now try using the paint can in the foreground to color all non-colored
pixels and gee!  There's even less to this than before!?  What gives here?

Yet another hour-and-a-half spent trying to get this project done down the
tubes
