fixed isContentActive=false to apply to stacking collections. fixed pile view to be faster and to work in fit content panels. fixed issues with hidden docs and freeformviews that act as lightboxes - hidden docs can be shown as the lightbox doc without modifying the hidden flag to allow collection state to be restored.
