Yes, I finally figured this out.

For some reason, this doesn't work. I set the borderwidth and margins 
of both the group and the field to 0 yet, it still automatically 
resized whenever the mouse was within. I even had the field set to a 
smaller size than the group. I could get the field to shrink instead of 
expand and I got stasis, but never a smooth resizing as I resized the 
group.

I've decided to just use a field instead of a group and use Rev's 
built-in ability to resize objects. Actually much better.

Thanks for your response.
