Correct and you see it :-)

Loc I assume but I understand.

Actually, I understand:
In the meantime you have close stack t2.
When you write 'show stack t2', you just set its visible property to  
true (and it's true yet) but it's closed.
So you can't see anything.

For the same reasons: stack is closed.

Yes, its 'visible' property is true but the stack is closed.

Toplevel OPENS a stack in an editable window then it's of course  
showing.
All other experiments you made just test a property but don't 'go' to  
the stack.
As I said, visible property is related to an open stack, not a closed  
one.
