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.
