I was having a problem where I would reposition all the controls on a page 
(after showing hidden of course!) and each time I closed the stack and reopened 
it, it was a different size!!! Also my controls seemed to all have a mind of 
their own. 

After poking around a bit I discovered that I had select group controls 
disabled and was moving the objects inside the groups with the arrow keys, but 
NOT the groups themselves! This had the effect of moving some objects outside 
the boundaries of the groups to where they were not visible, and the stack 
would resize on open to accommodate those *hidden* objects. 

To fix this, I disabled lockLoc for each group, then clicked Edit Group, then 
once again, which has the effect of setting the group boundaries to encompass 
all the objects it contains. (I probably could have used the Fit Content 
buttons in the Size and Position tab of the group’s properties as well.) 

Now my stack sizes correctly.
