Just tested and you're right. It changed in 6.7.

I can see some advantages to this. The ability to determine a mouseEnter 
into the stack window is useful in general. I suspect most scripts 
written by Mac users will have relied on a stack-sized control to trap 
entry into the stack, and that would still work the same as always. But 
you're right that problems would occur with a card or stack level 
handler that assumes a mouseEnter was always triggered by a control.

I can't remember how Windows works. If it's the same as earlier LC 
versions on Mac, then there's still al platform discrepancy.
