Hi Pete. I replicated your conditions exactly, even to the point of naming my stacks and groups the same. I then copy/pasted your code into the message box, and after fixing it (some typos there) I executed it. I still cannot reproduce the issue. All works as expected. This is in release 5.0. I suspect a plugin or something? Try moving all your plugins to another location and relaunching Livecode.
