Background takeover

I'm on Mac OX. If I have the backdrop on (black although shouldn't
matter) and the screen saver comes on, then when I get out of the
screensaver, sometimes I don't see the stack I'm working on--the
backdrop has taken over and covered the screen. I have to select the
stack from the Windows menu.
It can also happen when switching apps.
I was trying some things with resume and suspend to see if that would
workaround, but didn't have much luck.
However, then I tried it with engine only, not the IDE, and there was
no problem.
But I'm curious to know if other people get the same result. If you
want to try:
1. Open Rev, new mainstack, set backdrop to black
2. Move the cursor to your screen saver hot spot and back 5 or 10
times. For me, this will result in correct behavior a few times and
the stack is hidden a few times--no evident pattern.
3. If you like, try switching to another app and back to Rev
repeatedly--same results for me.
4. Choose the menu option to hide the Rev IDE, and then try it.
Everything worked OK for me.
Thanks,
Curry
