It does indeed.  If you've also double-checked the stack mode as Jan 
suggested, I would thoroughly review relevant objects for the cantSelect 
property.

When checking stack mode, be sure to check not only the command used to 
open the stacks ("modeless", "toplevel", etc.), but also check the 
stack's "style" property.  When used with simply "go" or "open", the 
style property governs the window's mode, and depending on how the stack 
is opened in the IDE, the IDE may be toplevelling a stack that actually 
has a different mode.
