fullScreenMode not working with iPad/iPhone simulator

I have a stack that I have been working with on android. The set the fullScreenMode is set to "exactFit" on the preOpenStack handler.
When I test the app on the Ipad or iPhone simulator the top of the stack is cut off (approximately the 1st 100 pixels)
I have tried various settings ie "noborder" etc and the result is pretty much the same.
The stack size is 400 by 720.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't know if it will fix it, but the latest release of 6.6.2 is RC 6. You could try downloading that and see if it helps.

Ok, I think I found it. I am working with a Mac Book Pro with a 1440 x 900 screen.
A retina display won't fit so the simulator truncates quite a bit of the stack.

Hi Tom,
What happens when you scale the window?
iOS Simulator Window > Scale

Simon, I looked for something like that and just completely missed it.
Thanks so much!
Everything works perfectly.
My next hurdle is actually testing on devices.

So my question is....what should be the default size of my stack for iPhone5... 640x1136 or 640x960?

I'm pretty new at this but I would try to keep the aspect ratio of your stack fairly close to the aspect ratio of your primary target. If that is iPhone 5 I would keep the 640 x 1136.
My target was the LG G2 so I made my stack 400 x 720. It looks real good on the iPhone 5 as both devices have nearly the same aspect ratio.
The iPhone 4s still looks good but does not fill the screen horizontally. I might be abvle to make it look a little better if I used full screen mod rather than letterbox.
It would stretch the horizontal a little but I don't think it would be objectionable in my app anyway.
Hope this helps.
