I noticed that while the patch fixes the problem in most cases,
depending on the height of the calc stack window, there can be the case
that the cursor is not positioned on the top-of-stack symbol `.' but one
line
above, at the beginning of the line with the first stack entry.

This can be changed by using the number 4 instead of 3 in the patch.
Not sure if this is the best fix.

(vertical-motion (- 4 (window-height win)))
