This sounds a bit like the stack has its style set to "palette". Those 
act as you describe. The cursor is always in browse mode and they aren't 
editable.

You can Cmd-Control-Shift-click on the palette stack to get a menu (on 
OS X), then choose "Mode" and change it to "toplevel". That should bring 
the stack back to normal.

Alternately you can right-click on the stack name in the App Browser to 
toplevel it.

Stack corruption in Revolution is almost unheard of.
