revNavigator - Cloning a card - am i doing something wrong?

[Geoff Canyon]

It turns out I think I'm not doing something wrong, but I fixed it anyway.
;-)

It appears the "clone" command doesn't match the documentation. For me, in
LC 8 on a Mac, it seems that issuing a clone command for a card in another
stack doesn't clone the card in its owner, but to the stack running the
script. This isn't just a Navigator thing, I tested with two new stacks.

"go"ing to the stack containing the card to be cloned before cloning it
eliminates the issue.

So, much the same as I do for relayering controls for drag and drop, I now
store the current topstack, lock messages and the screen, go to the card to
be cloned, and then return. There appear to be some anomalies associated
with this: after it's done the topstack doesn't have the right decorations,
and there were some other issues as well; but the main problem of the
cloned card going into Navigator is, I think, fixed. You can update
Navigator to get the fix:
