Adjusting the size of cards in a stack

[Peter Haworth]

I tried that, using the formattedwidth and formattedHeight of the card as
theCardWIdth and theCardHeight (plus a few extra pixels for aesthetics).

Strangely, that works for one card but the height is incorrect ( less than
it should be) for the other card. Maybe a bug?

To my way of thinking, the way this should work is that stacks should have
a lockLocation property and then I could simply set it to true, then set
the height and width without worrying about the stack moving.
