I flat can't make it work. The problem seems to be that the frame in question is one that was a few statements earlier placed inline from a library. When I undo the effects of my script, one statement at a time, it behaves as though the frame was placed on screen in the right place as it backtracks through the sequence.

Indeed, when I run it from Script Debugger, this is what happens. I see the frame arrive and I see the various manipulations I perform happen.

But when I run from the palette, none of this is visible. The script just gets way ahead of the composer and at this point it fails because the information returned is invalid.

Remember all those requests I made for a command to update the display. I wish I had one of those right now.
