If the group is expanded in the Project Browser, then it lands inside the group.  If the group is collapsed/closed then it will move between groups. Thanks, Brian On Jun 15, 2020, 2:49 PM -0400, Alex Tweedly via use-livecode , wrote: > two possible, but not great, answers ... but (someth

Hi all, This has been a problem for some time now but it's just got so much more frustrating for me. I tend to organise my objects into groups as there are often lots of them and it helps keep them manageable. However, I have created a rectangle grc I need positioning between two group layers

You probably need to lock messages in the beginning of your resizeControl. Otherwise the group will adapt to your resizing of your controls. I usually begin with both lock messages and lock screen, but the last is more for optimization. Håkan On 3 May 2020, 16:22 +0200, Alex Tweedly via use
