Yes, I did miss the exact point you were making.
I have done a horz slider group that places thumbnails+ a gap on a row and
allows the scaling of them using a scrollbar object.  The first (leftmost)
object seems to usually be placed closer to the top of the group and the
rest of the img objects will be placed where I want them, but not always.

This is not critical, since I can do drag-drop-fly-over just fine for my
use.  I will probably get to the point of trying the
field-sized-to-the-group-rect workaround in the near future.

Good work on finding this :-)
