JLG,
Do you recall the bug number? Maybe we could get some new votes.
I never really looked to see...but a search I just did indicates that
bug 302 is the closest match (that shows you how old the bug is) and
that one is marked "not a bug". It really isn't quite the same as we're
describing but it's close. The issue at hand here is whether a focused
field changes focus when a button is clicked. According to Scott Raney,
no OS removes focus from a field when a button is clicked, so the
current behavior is correct. I guess I agree with that.
The problem is that the IDE doesn't see a change in focus either, which
results in the missing "save" dialog. Not sure how to handle this; maybe
a new bug report would alert the team that a patch in the IDE is
necessary for just this "save" issue. It won't change any problems the
rest of us have with other scripts that rely on closefield -- for
example, when changing cards. For those situations I usually do
something like this in my scripts:
on closeCard
if the selectedfield <> ""
then send "closefield" to the selectedfield
end closeCard
Sometimes I need to put something similar into buttons or other places
too, it all depends on the scripts I'm using. This handler isn't exactly
correct though, because if the field content hasn't changed then sending
a "closefield" message isn't always what you want.

There may be other recipes as well, but the stack saving problem

This is a really old bug, I remember working around it years ago. I've
gotten so used to tabbing out of fields before I close a stack that I
hardly ever see the problem any more. But that isn't a good solution
for everyone.
On the other hand, I wish there were some way to get Rev to *stop*
asking me to save. I have some utility stacks with text display
fields, but the text is temporary and I never want it saved. But every
time I close the stack, Rev bugs me about saving changes. I now only
open those stacks in the MetaCard IDE, where it leaves me alone.
