Stack no long resizable?

Thank you.  In fact the resizable check box was checked for resizable.  
I acutally toggled this several times in my efforts to track down the 
problem.  No luck at all.

Then I decided to take the "fix everything including the dead simple you 
should have thought of this first stuff".  None of the GUI controls 
fixed this BUT, using your script actually I did it before reading your 
reply but it was the step that reset things to "normal".  So what we do 
know is that in my stack situation, deleting the window resize widget 
object, set something which was not reachable by the GUI reizable stack 
check box but was reachable through the message box and a script.  That 
is perhaps the most important knowledge gained.

Thank you Sarah.
