'Blessed' plugins

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Hi Hugh,

Just a question if you have seen a similar problem I have:
When I drag'n'Drop a control over stack b and ControlsN2O is in the "path" 
of the 
drag, ControslN2O intercepts the control (even in palette mode), hides my 
stack
ControlsN2O and the best is that it's still visible, in the rect of teh 
screen and you 
can't see it again until you toplevel/palette it again...

Have you seen that too? I have other plugins with similar calls and they 
dont cause
this trouble... Very strange indeed...

I'll add a fix to teh Rev's scritps in my IDE modder... For a release 
soon! ;)

cheers
Xavier
