I understand that your advice is correct
but the script in the stack should (at least
in theory) be exactly equivalent to store all
rects and set controls position and size
after resize is done.

In practice, the script that I posted fails
under some circunstances and I want to
know which these circunstances are.
Maybe, just maybe, there is a workaround
to detect and correct these failures
before setting the new size and position
of all controls in card.
