fullscreenmode and rect of a substack on mobile device ?

[J. Landman Gay]

On Android, hiding and showing a group works as expected, I don't need to 
loop through the controls to show them. At first I thought they weren't 
being drawn, but in fact the whole group was below the bottom of the stack.
