Not a problem is you are just popping up windows and then setting
their positions, but if, for some reason, you want to precisely place
windows (like we do) and then open them, this is a pain in the rear!
Opening a window/stack should not change its rect!
I'd point out here that the stack's *rect* is not being changed... It's
effective rect is changing - this is a very different thing (the
effective rect is only calculable after the system window object has
been created).
Given that the stack is being opened as invisible, then surely you can
just open it invisible, then check its effective rect?
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
P.S. A stack keeps its system window when closed unless the
'destroyWindow' property is set; if the latter is set to true, then
closing the stack will cause its system window to be destroyed.
