This is what REALLY SUCKS about RunRev! - was Menubar Help

There was a Group in the Place Groups Sub-Menu that was not listed in 
any stack/card in the apps browser. When selected it placed a BLOB in 
the stack window that could not be selected, however, when selected 
from the apps browser window, it could be deleted. Once this was done 
it worked.

How can this not be a bug in RunRev?

I have no clue what to file it under and the stack doesn't have the 
problem anymore.
