Meanwhile I sent the stack to Michael, and after that happened to be
able to reduce the problem, which seems to be connected to the "move"
command + empty variables.

Here is the recipe to reproduce the problem:

- Take or create any type of object
- type into the message box:  "move btn x to anywhere" - just write
"anywhere", this being an example of an undefined empty variable
- the object - in this case the button - moves in topleft direction and
vanishes to anywhere and assumes a position of about -4000,-4000 (can
reach -13000,13000, I don't know why)
- typing "set the loc of btn 1 to 300,300" does *not* bring back the
button. You have to exit Rev/Metacard and restart the stack, then "set
the loc..." works.

- But "move btn 1 to 300,300" works, although you will have to wait for
a while (depending on the speed of your cpu), so its better to add "in 1
second".
- Likewise, after you have first typed "move...." into the message box
and then type "set the loc of...." this seems to work, too.

This is apparently some bug in the Metacard engine,
