  if you could test using this kind of method instead.

on preopenstack
  put the effective stackRect into tBaseRect
  set the bottom of grp “bottomToolBar” to item 4 of tBaseRect
end preopenstack

and see if that  sticks the control to the bottom edge of varying size/ratio 
android devices. That would be an interesting test.

I'm wrapped up in something else right now but I'll try to remember to test when I'm done. My original thought was to avoid use of "the rect" entirely and use relative positions instead, like "the right" or "the bottom", on the assumption the engine would know what to do. The rect is pixel-specific, where relative positions aren't (I think.) For example:

set the bottom of grp "bottomToolBar" to the bottom of this cd

Worth a try anyway. If I remember right, I used "the right of this cd" in Gurudeva and it worked on any screen. We didn't have to deal with tops and bottoms though, it was the width that varied.
