HelloTrevor,
With the exception of the dialog boxes (thanks for the possible workaround in the bug report) this problem seems much less daunting now than I had first imagined. Thank you.

I have an application that, under Windows, provides a menu bar on a palette. This has been a fine solution for most things but I am losing the insertion point in fields whenever the user goes to the palette window to select a menu item. This is particularly problematic for Copy & Paste.

Do I need to constantly keep track of the selectedChunk (and worse)? I was hoping that there might be some half-way clean method for doing this that I'm missing because what I'm imagining right now seems pretty messy.

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately Rev stacks do not keep focus in a field when you interact with another stack. When I've done in the past is store the selectedChunk on suspendStack and restore it on resumeStack. One problem with this approach though is that the suspendStack/resumeStack messages are not balanced when using answer dialogs so you need to take that into account.

For possible fixes to this see bugs:
