Why does a "Save" screw up the "scroll" settings?

Although my stack does the jumping thing, I was able to "solve" the 
problem by including the following handler into the mainstack:

on saveStackRequest
   revUpdateGeometry
end saveStackRequest

the field jumps to the beginning, but then instantly jumps back after 
the save is done
you could probably set the lockScreen so that it does not jump 
somewhere, but this is a very old stack of mine, and i won't fumble 
around with it now (too much to do)

you can look at it under

the rest is OT:

I think I was planing a 4w game (like "space ward ho!" or "master of 
orion") where smilies capture planets and build more smilies on them 
... kinda funny idea, I hope I get back to it sometimes
I also remember of being extremely proud of the planets, because I drew 
them myself, and they look so "professional"
ah... good ol days... almost half a year since then :)
