So it's "all the visible parts of all objects". If some of an object is offscreen, that part isn't visible.

Beaten but not yet dead. ;)

Actually, the dictionary entry is correct.  The property gets the width of
a rectangle that encompasses all visible objects, not the rect of the
objects.

Yes, I think the problem is with the dictionary entry for formattedWidth
since it claims the formattedWidth of a card is the rectangle that
contains
all its visible objects, which is not true.

FormattedWidth and height are purely width and height measurements.
They
don't provide object any position information.

For object positions, use either the rect or formattedRect
(cards/groups)
properties.

I cannot for the life of me understand why the formattedWidth of the
card does not correspond
to item 1 of the loc of the 'furthest West' control, or its LEFT.
