Cursor in popup stack

[Bill Burman]

Jackie, Andu

I had this same persistent "I-beam" cursor problem if I was opening a
substack over a mainstack - above a card with an unlocked field. The only
thing I could come up with was temporarily locking the text of all fields
in the main stack before topleveling the substack. There must be a better
solution.
