Unfortunately we are caught between leaving the stack in a state where any
local variables that are meant to be initialised are unset or letting the
engine do its thing when the stack reopens and send messages that allow those
initialisations to occur. The latter, while a big change, was considered the
lesser of two evils because at least it allows you to code around the situation
rather than just ending up with a stack in a state where you need to quit and
restart the IDE.
Ideally, yes, standalone building (at least the parts that manipulate the open
stacks causing them to need to be reverted) would be a separate process.
Cheers
