fullscreenmode and rect of a substack on mobile device ?

[J. Landman Gay]

It's more complicated than that. Using the iPad Air simulator and this 
preOpenCard handler:

on preopenstack
   mobileSetAllowedOrientations("portrait")
   iphoneUseDeviceResolution true,true
end preopenstack

When I press the "Get the rect" button it reports the stack, card, and 
screenrect are all 0,0,640,960. Also, the right and bottom of the stack 
are clipped and the controls are not centered, they're shifted right and 
down.

If I comment out iphoneUseDeviceResolution so that only the orientation 
is set, the stack is huge, runs off the right and bottom, and no fields 
or buttons are shown because they are offscreen. I see only the topleft 
corner of the stack. I don't know what it thinks the rects are because I 
can't see the buttons.

If I hit the 1X button in the simulator, which doubles the resolution to 
emulate retina, the card gets half as big, floats in the middle of the 
screen, and still shows only the topleft corner of the stack (no buttons 
or fields.)

If I change the handler to this:

on preopenstack
   mobileSetAllowedOrientations("portrait")
   set the fullscreenmode of stack "ipad" to "showall"
end preopenstack

The stack doesn't fill the screen and leaves blank, black edges at sides 
and bottom. The content does not resize, showing the default card color 
at the top and bottom of the card. The button reports:

Stack rect: 469,116,1237,1140
Card rect: 0,0,768,1024
Screenrect: 0,0,320,480

An iPad with a screenrect of 320x480? When I was trying to fix this with 
a resizing handler similar to what you wrote, nothing I did would change 
the stack rect. It stayed stuck at 640x960 with black, blank edges 
around it.
