Strange closeStack behavior

[Bob Sneidar]

So my only solution I can come up with to keep this from happening is to disable the Close Window control, then add a button that saves the stack then closes it. It's ugly, but what else can I do. For my part, if a stack is a substack of a mainstack and I close it, the Save dialog should not present itself. I say that because if I manually save the substack, the splash dialog seems to indicate it is saving the mainstack and under it the list of all the substacks.

The stack in question is the only substack of a couple without a custom menu, so I am wondering if the last stack with a custom menu becomes the topStack??

Only on this ONE substack, when I click the close button (the red dot in the upper left of a MacOS window) it asks me if I want to ave the stack, EVEN THOUGH I have a closeStackRequest in the stack script that saves the stack before passing closeStackRequest.
