Keep Selection Focus When Switching to Substack

[Peter M. Brigham]

What I have done is put an "on mouseenter" handler in the palette buttons (or at a higher level, in the palette card script) that saves the current selection and the long name of the selectedfield. That way you don't have to modify all your target stacks, just the palette scripts.

It's a pain, but not difficult to implement. I agree that the selection for a stack should not deselect when switching to another stack or app. I suppose then that the selection should be a stack property instead of a global one, but I don't see how they could change it now.
