To select a group when you click any of its members, uncheck "Select Grouped Controls" in the Edit menu (or click the "SGC" tab on the toolbar to turn it off). This sets the selectGroupedControls property to false, meaning that a click is taken for the group as a whole, not the specific object. To reverse this and select the control you clicked (whether it's part of a group or not), switch the option back. At this point, when you click a control, the control's own properties will be shown (not the group's). >The overview window needs the to be able to be resized It's definitely on the requesxts list. >Occasionally my properties windows do things that seem strange.

There is a feature that you might be running into: namely that it's possible to drag tabs from one to another properties palette, or detach them into separate palettes. For example, you can drag the Colors tab onto the main properties palette by opening both palettes, grabbing the little textured area below the word "Colors" on the tab, and dragging over the main properties palette. The Colors window then shows up as a tab in the main palette, instead of in its own palette. You can grab a tab in the same way and drag it out of any palette in order to make it an independent palette of its own. >Despite all this I had a wonderful time making stuff with RR today.
