More TopStack-DefaultStack Mysterious - TraveralOn (false) Selection lost?

[Peter M. Brigham]

Keep in mind that the default behavior when a stack receives focus of selecting in the first field with traversalon = true can be overridden if you put all fields with traversalon = true into a group with traversalon = false.
