The use case(s) are the ones we don't want to have happen:
Newbie: ("thinking: I want a group in the upper left corner of my window")
Make new stack
Drag out graphic set width to 200 height to 100
Add btn 1 on top; btn 2 on top
Group all.
Set group top 0; left 0
Huh? What's this two pixel spa

Sorry if I'm being stubborn about this: I'm looking forward to the day when
100's of newbies "hit" on Livecode Community as a trial.
It is better if the "gotchaya" behaviors of the IDE are reduced to the bare
minimum.
It matters not that in the past a group may have been used to surround cont
I propose a new property for groups. the attire.

Why not have a Development menu in all of you projects that have little things
like this? For instance I created a Center Window handler and put it into my
