Where does the cursor end up when you click on the button to make the canvas appear?

Which might prove a problem when the stacked canvas covers it.
Try putting some items on the stacked canvas and send the cursor to one of them with go_item when you want to display it.

And did you change the button to do a go_item to one of those items?

I'd suggest running the form in debug mode. Check what triggers fire when you press the button. See where the cursor goes.
If you go to an item that's on the stacked canvas then that canvas should stay visible until you leave it.

The cursor is not moving from the button. I think the problem is with the viewport height. if i decrease the viewport height below or equal to 235 , I can see the stacked canvas . if i increase the viewport height , i can not see the stacked canvas.

As already stated - the cursor needs to move. Forms will not allow you to place something over an item that is occupied by the cursor.
