Re: unlock the Message Box ?
I had thought maybe it had something to do with the "lock default stack" button on the msg box, but I can't reproduce the issue so I guess not. I'll keep poking around with it though.

Maybe the message box was closed with an auto-complete suggestion still in place. If that's the case, and if my guess is actually the problem, then I'd say it's a bug and the locked state should be cleared when the message box isn't open.

I've never seen that error message, but I'll make a guess anyway. The message box has auto-complete and I've seen some actions refuse to work if there is an auto-complete suggestion in the message box that hasn't been either accepted or removed. If part of the existing message text is dimmed, it's a suggestion that hasn't been dealt with. Hit the right arrow key to accept the suggestion (you don't need to actually execute it) and then try closing the stack. The problem was that that message was coming up in a modular window when the Message Box was closed. Richmond.
