Question on Geometry

[Charles Hartman]

Is there a tutorial or overview of "Geometry" settings somewhere?

Meanwhile I'm doing the old Try It & See. I've got a card with a  
field and a button (not grouped). If I set the Geometry of the field  
to "scale" and that of the button to "position", the combination  
doesn't stick. Apparently the two are tied together.

That makes logical internal sense (the geometries of several items on  
a card are interdependent), but it doesn't make any sense from a UI  
standpoint. If the user resizes the card, it will be to make the  
field bigger, but making the button bigger just looks silly. What am  
I missing?
