The original message is waiting moderation due to the size of the crashlog,
it seems . . .

Anyway, I've narrowed the problem down.

I have rows of data for display/entry, with each row a group holding fields.

When a user enters enough data to make a field longer, the height of the
field is increased.  This can leave it behind the next row, and thus not
visible.

So I added code to save the layer of the group as a stack property on
openField, set the layer of the group holding the field to top, and then on
close/exitField reset the layer.

The simple stack attached will crash both 5.5.4 and 6.1.2 on OSX if your
tab through the fields a few times.
