Unfortunately I've had little luck with anything working well with 
RevOnline since v4 was released, so I haven't seen your stack.

I have three questions which may help diagnosis:

1. Are the lockLocs of the objects within the group set?

2. Are you accounting for the scroll of the containing group in the code 
that places the objects?

3. Is the total formattedHeight or formattedWidth of the group greater 
than 32765?
