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

[Matthias Rebbe]

Geoff,
thanks for the quick update.

There´s another thing i noticed:

I moved the opened revNavigator stack on the right side of the LC Menu below the Mac OS X menu bar.
When i click the arrow icon to collaps the revNavigator stack, then it is moved outside of the screen.

I have to change  the y-coordinate from 29  to 155 to get it displayed again.  

Regards,
Matthias

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:
