Does your license enable you to use 2.7.4? This is probably something you
should write support about because groups and backgrounds are a pretty

Hi Mark,
Yes quit and restart revolution. Using factory clean download, no plugins.
I guess I'll have forget about background buttons. Maybe I'll reinstall Rev.

That's how you're supposed to do it and it works fine for me on Rev 2.6.1

Hi James,
I followed the steps exactly as you described and it works fine in

select the button or buttons. Press CTRL-G to group the selected button(s).
Open the propertyinspector (right click on the selected group) and check
