if property <YourObject; invisible> then {
/.../ Your code /.../

When you change the property to "invisible" it adds a property "invisible" and the conditional works - when it's set to be INITIALLY invisible it checks but comes up false since it isn't there in the properties!
Maybe instead of a "invisible" addition to the object, we should fully use the properties and have "invisible" (or more to my liking visible/not visible) in there...
It works - it's just that, QDK still uses the "invisible" part of the object. This should only be kept for compatibility now.
