You say that it's not impossible for a toplevel stack to appear above
a palette stack - can you give any more detail on this? I see nothing
in the RR docs.


There is nothing in the RR docs that I know of. My intent was to imply that
it's *extremely* unlikely that a palette can ever be rendered above a
topLevel stack in the same app (there may be some bug going on but I've yet to see anything like this in years of working with Rev/MC). I would suggest
that whenever you experience what you perceive to be a topLevel stack
displaying above a palette, immediate query the stack modes in the message
box and see what the result is.  Something like:

  put short name of stack 'A' && mode of stack 'A' && \
    short name of stack 'B' && mode of stack 'B' && \
    short name of stack 'C' && mode of stack 'C'

My guess is you'll find the modes to be the same (1 or 2 = topLevel, 4 =
palette).  If not, you may have discovered a bug.

Well, it looks like a bug to me: when actually looking at the screen and seeing my main stack obscuring the two palettes, via the message box I get:

main stack: mode = 1
palettes (both): mode = 4

Furthermore you can see the style of the decorations (top bar of the window) is appropriate to the kind of stack it says it is - small for the palettes, with no decorations and somewhat larger for the main stack with the usual three mini-buttons. Also, I made a standalone from the file and it behaved in exactly the same way.

So it is a bug. The problem is devising a simple recipe, since as I said, my first attempt to reduce this to its essentials didn't exhibit the problem.

No more time now, but if it's still around in a few days I will BZ it.

Thanks for replying

Graham
