Resize stack

I'm using the Geometry Manager to manage the resiang of a scrolling list field when its stack is resized. I know, I know, using the Geometry Manager is my first problem but that's the way it is right now! If I select a line in the scrolling list field, scroll down so the selected line is out of s

I agree with that, that's why I thought the behavior I was seeing was so weird. I started using a fresh copy of the stack and all now works as expected so there must have been some corruption in the version of the stack I was using. There might be an existing way to find out the "progenitor" - th

Re: The Owner of a background group

Bob. It seems more natural to me that the owner is the current card. It makes the message hierarchy consistent. The "progenitor" could be a property as you suggest, but since this is not native, just set a custom property of the group to the id of the card that gave it birth. You then get ev

Never mind works the same either way. Frankly, I would like the owner to return the card it was originally on. It seems confusing to me that the owner would change when the active card changes. Doesn't seem intuitive. I suppose however, this might allow for the deletion of the "owner" card witho

Peter. I don't see this. I made a card and a background group, I made a background field that, on opencard, would show the owner of the group. I made a few new cards. Navigating, the owner of the group is the current card, not the first card where all the authoring took place. Using the "pl
