Hello Xavier,

I just did some tests to verify it and I don't encounter this issue  
here (Mac OS X).
In the Mac OS X IDE there is only a little problem: the usual File  
Menu in the screen menubar highlights when File/Save/S but the right  
save handler in the right stack is lauched even if the stack's mode  
is palette and there are other toplevel stacks on screen.
Depends only on the window which have the focus.
I shall have a look on XP ASAP :-)
