1. Why does it happen? I would guess that something in the scripts 
(open or preOpen stack or card) is changing something (a field, a 
button hilite, a custom property) so the IDE thinks you have changed 
something.

2. How to stop it happening? When I get sick of this happening in the 
IDE, I remove the close box and replace it with a Close button that 
saves the stack and then closes it. This avoids the problem while in 
the IDE, but even so, you would be much better to use a standalone for 
your demo. If you are actually demoing the IDE, then a Save stack 
dialog will be expected. If you are demoing an application, then you 
don't need to have the IDE running at the same time.
