Again, all stacks have their stack and window set to destroy and are explicitly 
closed after Stack B is opened. You must have a stack open and visible on 
Mobile or the app will crash, so that's why we leave Stack A open and only 
close it*after*  Stack B is opened.

I have no recipe for this, and so HQ is at a loss.

This issue has been around a very long time, and the simplest way to reproduce it is to open the stack on any device that has a different screen ratio than the one set during development. For example, in your app which was set to accomodate iPhone 6 Plus, I see the problem when I open the app on a Nexus 7 tablet.

To save processing time and power, LC only redraws the area inside the card rectangle. It does not redraw any part of objects that lie outside that area. We really do need a "redraw card" command, but for now you can force a redraw by either hiding and then showing the offending object, or by resetting it. Since your object is an image, you can reset it with: set the imagdata of img x to the imagedata of img x. Or, if it's a referenced image, just set its filepath again.

I have a header group in another app that extends far beyond the width of the original card in order to accomodate any screen ratio. For this, I hide the header group on closecard and re-show it on preOpenCard for those cards that use the header.

We shouldn't need to do this, but I understand why LC doesn't deal with areas that lie outside the card boundaries. Maybe we need a property that instructs LC whether or not to redraw everything regardless of object positioning.

I suppose another way to avoid the problem would be to just make every stack square and let fullscreenMode noBorder clip the edges.
