Mark …Ha! "OOooh Myy Gawd"
had I known this from the beginning it would all have "worked out of the box"
because the resetting rects and locs of child objects of the group was causing
the rect of the group to "jump around" hence there no fixed coord system to
work from.
This is great… right we don't see this in the PI for groups… so definitely
hidden!
Another related mystery:
there is a new check box in the position for groups
[ ] resize when setting rect property
what does this do?

Another useful thing which I'm not sure is particularly visible (but is
in the dictionary!) is the group 'clipsToRect' property.
When 'the clipsToRect' is set to true you get a group which acts like
lockLocation is set, but is resizable. In this case the group's size is
determined purely by the rect it has set, and not the union of the
rectangles of its children.
This might have been mentioned somewhere else in this thread, but its
probably worth repeating if so as a group with clipsToRect true, and a
resizeControl handler makes a good base for a custom control.
Warmest Regards,
