Even if my preference stack did not remove from memory as it should, specifically going to stack "XYZ" and setting it as the defaultStack, one would expect "this stack" to be be "XYZ" but it is not.

But it makes me nervous that the same issue may unexpectedly arise elsewhere in my code. This is an app that has been working fine for years and this has not been an issue till now.

I agree this should work but until it does, a workaround might be to use "the topstack" rather 
than "this stack".
