OK, I'll go look.

That's exactly what I did when I tried to reset the group's size. That's
when it went berserk, and then disappeared.

Yes, I had done that in the dialog (and locked) before making the calls,
because the group came with 4 pixel margins on either side of the display.

Yes, it worked until I tried to reset the group's position when it
disappeared.

Maybe the engine got confused as to what the object "me" was. What would
happen if you defined it by the literal long name?
