Chipp,

When the image in the group is smaller than the grouprect, hscroll and 
vscroll are always 0 irrespective of where the image is located.

I now found a workaround for setting and keeping the image at the loc of 
the group: I placed a field the size of the grouprect into the group and 
"set the loc of image "x" to the loc of field "centerfield"". This works 
and also prevents the dislocation of the image to the topleft of the 
group when the imagedata are changed.

Though, it remains a mystery - this must be a bug - that setting the loc 
of a smaller image (or for that matter of the topleft of the image to 
some saved topleft before) is not possible and that after changing the 
imagedata of a smaller image that was centered by "move" it snaps back 
to the topleft of the group.

Thus we have a workaround and a remaining problem that is most certainly 
an engine problem.--

Any ideas how to tackle the second imagegroup problem I reported in my 
first post in this thread, namely how to draw graphics on a grouped image?

Best regards,

Wilhelm
