Re: Stacks Hiding Behind Backdrop?

Hi Jaqueline,

is anyone else experiencing the annoying "winking out" of stack stack
behind a backdrop that has been set?
Scenario is: set the backdrop to black, open a Rev stack. then open
mail.app on the mac. do some emails, click on the Rev stack to
activate and it suddenly disappears. Actually it is open, but "jumps"
behind the background which acts like  an opaque layer such that the
stacks underneath cannot be seen unless you chose the from the window
menu. This is quite annoying.
Since it is customary to hide the backdrop when the user switches out 
of the app,
and re-show it when they switch back in, how about something like this:

on suspend
 set the backdrop to none
end suspend
on resume
 set the backdrop to "black"
end resume
I tried this in the palette stack, that did not disappear:

on resume
  toplevel "the eaten stack"
end resume
which didn't work...

I will try your example immediately (at least tomorrow ;-)

But will bugzilla it anyway, because it hink that ALL window should 
appear when the
user closes the finder-window in this particular case...

Ah, idea!!! ;-)
I will also have to play with the "mouseUpinBackdrop" message...
Might be useful, too...
Thanks and have a nice weekend.
