This sounds like a bug, but I can't reproduce it. Can you send me a
small example stack that shows it?
As for workarounds, there are several. Forcing the group to redraw
by changing its size or position or hiding and showing it should do
what you need. Or set the lockScreen to true before deleting and then
back to false afterwards. Worst case, changing cards or hiding and
showing the whole stack will always force the entire window to redraw.
