Sarah,

I've not had this particular problem. But I often lose the ability to 
bring up the properties palette. (This is in 1.1.1--I can't use use 
2.0--still waiting for the debugger fix.)

Double clicking doesn't work, nor does control clicking and selecting 
"properties", nor selecting "Object properties" in the RR menu.

Has anyone found a way past this--besides restarting RR?

A thought just occurred to me. How about

    "go to stack revTools"

in the message box? Of course that may be just the message sent by 
the command/control "T" or the RR menu item.

I think I'll try

     go to stack revpropertyPalette1

to bring up the properties palette--the next time I lose access to 
the properties palette. (revpropertyPalette2 is potentially 
dangerous.)
