It sounds like you used the menu to change the application overview's mode
to "toplevel". (The contextual menu popup works on the actual object you
click on - so using it in the App Overview window changes that stack, not
the stack whose listed name you're clicking.)

There's a preference setting to allow use of the contextual menu within
Revolution UI windows, which I believe is turned off by default. You're
right that unwittingly triggering it could cause trouble, but most of the
Revolution windows aren't saved by default - if you were to, say,
accidentally delete objects from the App Overview, you could fix the
problem simply by quitting and relaunching Revolution.
