OK . I made a test stack, copied the dialog stack, and made a few modifications for testing. Usually when I do this, the problem disappears. The error is obvious. I am humiliated. This time, the error persists! That doesn't mean it isn't humiliatingly obvious, though.
Who can be the first find the horrid, obvious, trivial error?
