different stack locations, different (or no) responses?

Jacque,

Thank you so much for your suggestions but, unfortunately, they don't  
work. I had the same problem once or twice in the past with earlier  
Revolution Versions and at that time just gave up and created stacks  
from scratch instead of developing from clones but at the moment I  
simply lack the leisure to proceed like this.

The situation is pretty annoying - three types of behaviour (two of  
them absolutely obstinate) of some and the same simple stack  
depending on its location and the way it is opened. I don't think  
that's the way things are supposed to work and still welcome any  
insight.

All the best,
Fritz
