Hi Scott,

This works in Rev 2.6, OS X 10.4.1 without a flicker or reappearance of the stack.

on showWindow
  --set topLeft of stack progind to 10000,10000
  --palette stack progind
  go invisible stack progind
  go back
  set topLeft of stack progind to 10000,10000
  set the visible of stack progind to true
  put windowID of stack progind into tID
import snapshot from rect (rect of grc 1 of stack progind) of window tID
  close stack progind
  choose browse tool
end showWindow

Better not set the style of stack "Submarine" to palette or the import is done in the palette stack.

Changing window style or window shape on hidden or offscreen stacks will make the system redraw the window within the screen rect, hence the flicker or reappearance. But why it is doing this every second time with your script, I don't know.
So if it is a bug or a coding problem is for others to decide.

Greetings,
Wouter

occurs 50% of the time:

on showWindow
  set topLeft of stack progind to 10000,10000
  palette stack progind
  put windowID of stack progind into tID
import snapshot from rect (rect of grc pie of stack progind) of window tID
  close stack progind
  choose browse tool
end showWindow

(MacOSX 10.3.9)

The results are the same even if the position is set to negative numbers. I've noticed this failure in other stacks but wasn't sure if this was a result of my code. Now it seems very repeatable, and I believe other folks
have mentioned window positioning problems as well.

Can anyone else verify this?  Is this a coding problem or bug?

Thanks & Regards,
