OK, I figured out what the problem is although I don't have a clue why it's a problem.
I noticed that putting breakpoint commands in my preOpenCard script was not having any effect, depending on where I put them. I assumed that was happening because the code never reached the breakpoint for some reason even though I wasn't getting a run time error. So I started putting a breakpoint in beginning at the first line of the script and moving down a few lines each time until the breakpoint failed to trigger. That revealed that the line of code that appears to be a problem is set the liveresizing of stack "xyz" to true If I comment out that line of code, the stack works correctly as a plugin. Put it back in and it fails again. I'm happy I found the problem and in fact I don't think I need to set liveresizing every time the stack runs; I'm not setting it to false anywhere so I assume it would retain its true setting across runs. But I can't help but wonder why that statement would cause a problem in a plugin but not in a regular stack, and perhaps even more worrying, why no runtime error was reported.
