[solved] All objects on all cards shifted up 30 to 50 pixels at least

Hi,

when creating a stack on windows. Then when this stack is opened as a standalone or in the IDE (lc903rc1) in MacOs (latest) then all objects are shifted up from 30 to 50 pixels or more.

I selected all objects and shifted them down using nutch. Saved every time. then when using command 3 switched to other card and did the same thing for all cards.
Then coming back to the first card all is shifted up again, like it's not stored at all.
Now if a few text fields need to be adjusted that's no problem, but this is weird.

How do one cope with this, when developing on Windows for Mac?
The same stack on Linux is ok, except for a few fields width's and height's of characters. (using the same font everywhere).

Thanks for any enlightening.

Did you lock the images in their property palettes?

Are you using a menubar group in the stack?

@Richmond and @Klaus

on both questions i can answer Yes!

edit:Thanks for the hint Klaus, now i hide it and all looks ok.
Hopefully i still can use it when it's hided, as it works a bit different then on Win10 or Linux.

edit 2:Yes i can hide it on MacOs (set visible to false) and still shows up in Mac menubar (when run as standalone) and works as expected.

This is normal behavior to allow cross-platform deployment. This explains it:
