Actually, I found a way to make it work with mouseMove. I can't set the 
rect of the field to the rect of the group for reasons discussed before 
(since it changes in real time and the group tries to adjust), but I 
can store the widths, heights, and edges of the group and adjust the 
parts to fit it within the mousemove handler. It turns out that the 
order in which these operations are done are critical, but it does 
work. While resizeControl would be adequate, using mouseMove lets the 
group elements be resized in realtime, not just when the mouse is 
released.
