check out the dialogData (global) property.

Rev should automatically reset focus and, more importantly, the 
defaultStack property to your main stack when a substack closes. A 
situation where I had seen this malfunction was when there was an 
invisible stack which for some reason got the attention. Check what 
the defaultStack upon return from dialog is and may be this will give 
you a clue.
