I'm just trying to create a simple array of rectangles .....

I've created one (called, with great imagination :), "R1") which has all the correct characteristics, including a width and height of 8

But when I clone it to create my other shapes, the widths and heights all come out to 120 instead of 8. I can fix this up (as I do in the following code), but I don't understand why that would be necessary (or what other properties might be different from what I expect).

   repeat with y = 0 to 5
      repeat with x = 0 to 4
         put "_h01_" & x & y into tName
         clone grc "R1"
         set the name of it to tName
put the width of grc tName && the width of grc "R1" & CR after field "F"
         set the loc of grc tName to 100 + 20*x,  150 + 20*y
         set the width of grc tName to 8
         set the height of grc tName to 8
         set the visible of grc tName to true
put the width of grc tName && the width of grc "R1" & CR after field "F" put "grc" && quote & tName & quote && "and" & space after tGroupList
      end repeat
   end repeat

what shows up in the field is
120 8
8 8
120 8
8 8
120 8
8 8
120 8
8 8
etc.

I tried to create a tiny sample stack to show the problem, and initially succeeded, but at some point as I tried minor variations, it started working - and now I can't get it to fail again. The time it started working was when I changed
   clone invisible grc "R1"
to simply
   clone grc "R1"
but changing that back didn't cause the problem to recur.

Any ideas ?
Thanks
