I don't think it's a bug in your stack. Rev updates the IDE for each 
card when you make background changes (in the application browser, the 
menus, and maybe after editing a background.) If there are a lot of 
cards it can take a while, though 700 shouldn't be too terribly bad. 
Whatever is causing it, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the 
update process in the IDE. That's why your smaller stack works okay, 
because the update process is quicker.

You might be able to get around the problem by not editing the group. 
Instead, do this from the message box:

   create button "newButton" in grp "myGroup"

That will put the button into the group and you can edit it normally 
without going into group edit mode.
