Xavier, I regret to state this, but you *are* affected like all others 
that use the "pad"-routine in their browsers.
I tested this.--

Thanks Monte,

first thing I tried was to add "the value of" to all instances of 
"number of layers" in the refresh handler.
This is really a working workaround. All group controls, nested or not, 
are now indented properly.

It is surprising that the "negative" result occurs only after you have 
used "subtract" in one of the following script lines.
Seems to me WA (Wouter) had the correct feeling that "subtract" was 
somehow involved.
