Well, with your setup, you only have one grid slot, slot #2. So when a table in the stack requires action, it can only go one place: to slot #2. If Slot #2 is already full, then SaT will bring tables to the top of the stack as they need action, as a convenience so that you can see them.
Normally, if people use "Move To Grid = When Action Required", they have many more grid slots than just a single one. In this mode, you are not really meant to play out of the stack. You are meant to play out of the grid. The stack is merely a placeholder for inactive tables. You would ignore the stack most of the time.
So, perhaps your expectations are a bit off. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. If you can give me a better idea of your goals, maybe I can suggest a better setup. If you want to play solely out of a stack only, then you should use "Move To Grid = Never". You can still leave Slot 2 for your Old Tables if you wish, but that will be the only use of it. But, this would probably still leave you with the same problem.
As for the table pop up issue, first and foremost is to determine what/why/when/how certain tables "are not picked up when action is required". This is a big problem and could lead to other problems within SaT. However, from your description, I'm not sure if maybe you misunderstand how SaT works and really those tables are not missed. As long as you keep acting on the top table in the stack, SaT will then pop up the next most urgent, and then the next, etc. Are you saying certain tables never pop up? If so, you would notice that after acting on all of the tables that SaT pops up, you would end up with a table at the top of the stack that doesn't require action, and yet see a blinking table underneath somewhere at the bottom of the stack. But if this was the case, you shouldn't have any problem clicking over to it.
Yes SaT tries to ensure that the most urgent table is always at the top of the stack. You are not meant to click away to a table underneath, and if you do, SaT does bring the most urgent back on top of it. This is how its supposed to work, at least for "Move To Grid = When Action Required." Because here is the problem: you manually click away to another table, and now you need to manually click back to the first table. This is very time consuming. You should be able to cycle through the stack as long as no tables require action in the stack.
The "Activate (focus) tables when action required" setting is a little different. It focuses the table once when it initially requires action. The behavior you are noticing, of always keeping the most urgent at the top of the stack, is a different setting that is not configurable through the interface. If you insist on trying it, you will add this line to your config (follow the instructions here if you haven't done this before):
By default, this setting is set to 1 (on) which keeps the urgent table at the top of the stack. Using this setting, combined with turning off "Activate (focus) table when action required", should eliminate all of SaT popping tables up. Then, you would go back and turn on 888's own popup setting. Bear in mind that this would only work as long as you are playing on 888 alone and no other sites.
