That is indeed the issue.
The IDE for some reason allows multiple controls with the same name but keeps track of their individual identities, but insists that stack names be unique in memory.

When new stacks are created in memory they are assigned the id 1002.
Why?
If there's a stack already in memory why not create the new stack with the next sequential id?
Then the combination of id and filename should uniquely identify a stack.
