If you just hide the frame without this additional step, frames created afterwards will get a higher [[FrameLevel|framelevel]] then the hidden one. After a while you will get frames at maximum [[FrameLevel|framelevel]] which are likely to be drawn in a distorted way (false order caused by equal [[FrameLevel|framelevel]]). | ||
