Problems placed grouped groups

Well, here's what I can report. Perhaps it'll help you track down the
issue.
On OS X 10.3.8 with Rev 2.5.1:
When I create the main group baseControls and then break out some of
its buttons as a separate, nested group whose backgroundbehavior is
turned on (while that of the baseControls is not), creating a new card
does not automatically place the nested group. I'd expect it would
since its backgroundBehavior is set to true. But an attempt to place
that nested group explicitly in the message box per your instructions
does not place this group. Rather, it gives an error about Rev being
unable to find the background.
I can hide and show and do other things to the nested group on the one
card where it is created/located, but cannot, apparently, place it on
another card.
So I presume you're using a different platform or version since you're
seeing different behavior.
