Problem modifying single frames in a stack

As a beginner, I have a problem with image stacks, which might also be a
general problem with ImageJ dialogs:

For example, if I create a new stack with a few frames, make a selection in
one of the frames and want to run the "Fill" command, I get a dialog box:

Process all 10 images? There is no Undo if you select "Yes". Yes/No/Cancel

Independent of my answer, the Fill command is never executed. Am I doing
something wrong? Can I somehow avoid this dialog box (I already used a
setSlice command so it should be clear which slice should be modified...)?

The following macro produces the same problem:

macro "test" {
        newImage("test", "8-bit White", 400, 400, 10);
        for (f=1; f<=10; f++) {
                setSlice(f);
                for (i=1; i<=3; i++) {
                        makeOval(i*50,i*100,10,10);
// the next line the dialog box (Process all 10 images?) and is never
// executed:

                        run("Fill");
  }
        }
       
}

I am using ImageJ 1.42i on Ubuntu 8.04.

Thanks for any explanation!
