I was using one stack/card saved as, for a template for a new stack, 
and I was removing the groups but saving the controls to create new 
groups.

It is a simple one card stack, nothing to hide behind.  Besides, the 
newly created group did not exist in the inspector, just the vanished 
controls.  So the controls were invisible because they were part of a 
non-existent group that obviously could not be displayed.

Thanks, I will try that next time it happens.
