stack freeze when cloning substack on Mac

[Rich Mooney]

This has always worked fine in windows but appears to be a problem in OS
9.0.4 with the 2.4.3 engine.  I have a simple little substack with one field
which I clone then give different names and contents to the clone depending
on what opens it.  The cloning occurs within a function to which I pass the
name of the cloned stack, its rect, and the text which will go in the field.
It appears that when I invoke this command with a popup or pulldown style
btn, the stack freezes.  I can see the cursor blinking in the user editable
fld of the cloned stack but, I can't select anything in the fld and I can't
close or resize the substack .  I can move the mouse cursor over the still
popped-up contents of the btn and see the different lines hilite as I pass
over them but, clicking doesn't make it unpop.  Clicking on the main stack
doesn't bring it to the foreground.  The Mac menu bar doesn't respond.  The
only way to get out of this is to click on the desktop, another application
open on the desktop, or a finder window.  Is this a bug or do I have a
scripting problem?
