In Snow Leopard, I would routinely swipe up to show the desktop and then click on my "Documents" or "Downloads" stack from the dock in order to quickly move a file to the desktop.
In Lion, if I swipe up to show the desktop, as soon as I click a stack, the windows that had been cleared return to their original position. Now if I want to move a file from a stack to the desktop, I have to open the stack first and then swipe up to get a clear desktop. I realize this may be a minor point for some, but it's a feature I used all the time in Snow Leopard and I can't get used to the change in Lion.
Is there any way to change this setting in Lion so that clearing the desktop functions like in did in Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I assume you have 'tap to click' enabled?
Instead of just tapping on the stack in the dock, do a mouse click and hold down until the stack directory opens.
