A group, its dimensions, it's rect, and its properties are comprised of the objects it groups and nothing more. It is not the business of the IDE to start adding "adornments" (borders, line width, show name, margins)
Aside from the backward compatibility issue, LC is being consistent within its own paradigm. All LC objects have a margin: buttons, fields, progress bars, players, images. If a group had no margins it would create an internal inconsistency, which might just be another type of confusion for new users. Margins are pretty much universal in LC.
I do see that widgets in LC 8 do not always have margins though. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
