Lock screen & layering of stacks?

Charles, your script works, without lock screen, until newest LC all the same as it should (but sadly flickering).

The second,I added some lines,
>  on mouseUp
>   lock screen
>   -- lock messages
>   go stack "Second"
>   go stack "First"
>   -- unlock messages
>   unlock screen
>   put the openstacks
> end mouseUp

works as follows. Lock messages (Bernd's method), locks especially all "focus" messages and diminishes thus flickering. But with or without lock messages the result is:

[1] LC 6.6.2: Stack "second" stays with active titlebar in front. But "First-second is the order reported by the openstacks.
[2] LC 6.7 (dp6) and LC 7.0 (dp7): Stack "second" stays with active titlebar in back. But "First", "Second" is the order reported by the openstacks.

Call this a bug?
(You could, as a workaround, as I often do, forcing "First" to become active by giving a focusable control on it the focus, before unlocking screen.)
