That should fix it. ;) Next we should discuss the company's product line 
which starts with the word "Revealing"...except so far that doesn't 
interfere with anything.

All suggestions so far are to rename the stack. We actually tried naming 
it "ABCDEFG" and it still misbehaved. I think if we'd saved it to disk 
and then restarted everything it probably would have worked, and that's 
likely what we'll do next time. The message box works so we were setting 
properties that way.

The reason the stack name can't be changed is because the whole 
multi-stack system uses the stack name for internal display in dozens of 
places (glossaries, gradebooks, student notes, reading history, lookups, 
etc.) and I'd have to add exceptions everywhere to accomodate just a 
couple of problem names. We only want to do an occasional edit without 
upsetting the whole IDE.

But my main question is about that totally odd error messages claiming a 
conflict between two open stacks that don't even have the same name (or 
filename, which shouldn't matter anyway.) That's just bizarre.
