Hi Jan,

Yes, this was what I originally expected. But it's not working as of yet 
during runtime... only in the development environment. Will this be 
implemented shortly (prior to launch) so that it works the same during 
runtime? What if the two stacks are sized differently? What will happen 
then?

It would be nice to have answers to these now so that developers like 
myself can make adjustments based on fairly large items like this.

I've discovered some other significant (for me) change to the runtime 
environment in the past few days. A traditional cascading menu (built 
with the menu builder).... which worked fine yesterday during runtime... 
no longer works today. The menu (which I dragged to the center of the 
stack so it functions as a button with cascading selections), depresses 
OK. The list of hierarchical selections show up OK. But any attempt to 
actually make a selection fails.

Obviously, they are making substantial changes to the runtime 
environment on a daily basis. This makes development very difficult.  I 
can work around much of this and focus on other items, but it's the "not 
knowing what we'll end up with by 11/11" that makes all of this 
stressful, if not impossible. I actually don't think they know either. 
It seems to be very much a day-by-day situation. On the other hand, I 
fully appreciate the enormity of the challenge they face.
