Perhaps bug #5925 could be an example?
Thanks for the pointer. That one's worth knowing about, but in my case
these aren't sheets, just ask and answer used as non-sheet modal, and
the issue I'm experiencing isn't related to printing.
Any one else see anything else like what I've described?

Since v2.7 I've had some bug reports from my users which lead me to
believe that the ask and answer dialogs aren't always returning the
defaultStack to what it was before they were called. I've seen this
a few times myself, in scripts that first call an ask or answer
dialog, then in subsequent lines make references to objects in the
stack that called those dialogs and I get an "object not found" error.
In such cases I've found that this workaround fixes things:
put the defaultStack into tSaveStack
ask "Whatever" with "OK"
set the defaultStack to tSaveStack
-- do more stuff...
But I have a lot of code that calls ask and answer, so it isn't
practical to add those lines to all of it.
I'd submit this to the RQQC, but I haven't yet been able to create
an isolated example, which leaves me with the possibility that I
have something going on in these apps which is causing the problem
rather than ask and answer.
And for all I know, if this was an engine issue it may have been
fixed in v3. Rev 2.7 had a lot of changes to window layer handling
in an attempt to clean up some modality issues, and those have been
refined since but I haven't yet shipped a beta to my users with v3.0
(and since the recipe is so elusive it's hard to say how long it
would need to be in the wild before this shows itself anyway).
So I'm checking in with you folks here to ask if any of you have
seen anything like this, "object not found" errors after calling ask
or answer.
If so, have you been able to come up with a simple example to
reproduce it?
