SCRIPTS IN GROUPS

[Bill]

I just looked at it again and the group with the script that responds to the
mouseup is not inside another group. It is the only group on the card and it
is very small and scripts in it respond to a mouse-up when you click
anywhere in the card and well outside the group. It's background behavior is
set to true.

My solution is to be careful not to put scripts in groups from now on.
