Hi Jacque, Wanted to let you know that the issue of mouseDwon having to be at the group level is documented in the USer Guide so you remembered correctly!
I also discovered today that 5.0.2 handles the moving of controls for system menu purposes differently than 4.6.4. Just upgraded to 5.0.2 and the first time I opened my stack, it was slightly higher than with 4.6.4. I tried it again in 4.6.4 and it opened slightly less high than it should have been!
