I think that was just incidental. The original stack was sized to fit 
the same iPhone you own, so the footer didn't need to move. If you'd 
created the stack to fit an Android device I suspect it would have 
worked there and not on iOS. The ratios are different.

I was wrong, it wasn't a bug. It wasn't drawing because it was 
offscreen, so the engine didn't bother with it. Brian woke me up to 
that. Once you moved the footer into the stack region it redraws.

It does work on Android, but you need to move all the group controls as 
well as the group. That's just how things are without fullscreenMode, 
you have to account for every object. I don't think it's a bug, more an 
enhancement request maybe, but the response may be that you should just 
use mobileSetFullScreenRectForOrientations, which was implemented just 
for that situation.
