This also seems odd to me. With MC On WIN XP, I edit controls in a group by 
clicking the group, then from the Group Properties selecting Edit. Then use 
the handles to drag a control to a new size. Exit editing via the menu 
selection Edit\Stop editing BG. My Group auto resizes to match the resized 
control. In fact, using a  stack of width 256, I dragged a control beyond 
the stack edge, then exited group edit mode. I checked the width of the 
group and it was indeed larger (394) than the stack width (256). So, even 
when the control size exceeded the size of the stack, the group still auto 
sized to accomodate the new size of the control.
