Hi Dave,
One reason why this may happen is the Geometry manager.
Another reason is the margins of the group. If the margins are set to 0
and you're using the GM or have a resizing script somewhere, the
controls often tend to "walk".
Also, if you're using rect, top, left, bottom, right and other location
properties in your script, these properties may change, triggering a
resizing handler again, which eventually makes the control walk. You can
avoid this by putting all location properties into variables before
setting any position, e.g.
put the topleft of grp "This Group" into myTL
set the topleft of btn 1 to (item 1 of myTL + 5),(item 2 of myTL + 5)
-- etc.
If you give a little more info about what you're doing exactly, we might
solve this problem.

Quite a few times recently whilst developing on Windows (windows 7 x64) and
using various incarnations of LiveCode (LC 6.6, 6.6.1(rc1), LC 6.7 (dp1) I'm
getting an occasional 'runaway' behaviour.
Occasionally, on one particular stack (holding quite a few controls to make
up it's GUI) if I'm editing a group with the inspector open on the 'Size &
Position' tab - if I click the up or down arrows on the left, top, right, or
bottom scrolling list fields, followed within a second or so by another
click on the same arrow - I get a 'runaway' of the control continuing to
move in the same direction at about 1 pixel/point per second.
I'm not seeing it on LC 6.5 or 6.5.1 (or on OSX)
I don't really want to file a bug about this because I can't reproduce it -
is anyone else seeing this?
Kind regards
Dave
