You say it gets stuck in the active table area. Does that mean that MTH never moves the table again, and ignores it? Or does it only reside in the active table area until it's moved again by MTH?

I will describe what I can remember (I'm sorry about the vagueness, but I was trying to save my hands, and It's like being a traffic cop in a 10-way intersection, when the power goes off.)

There are two things I am sure of:

first: A table was buried after I acted. It stayed in the active area until I manually moved it (i'm not sure if this is before the action had returned to that table, so I don't know what would have happened then).

second: Once the first table stopped moving there was some kind of domino effect. Tables would activate but not move to the active area.

Overlayed on these observations was my frantic attempt to disperss my highly overlapped tables. So, I'm not sure whether the tables that were not moving automatically were those I had just moved from the active area or all tables, regardless.
