Hi Warren,

Are you by any chance using the revGeometry manager to reposition and resize your objects? Then it's perfectly normal: a group is normally automatically sized to fit around the contained controls (plus the margins on each side) - but when the geometry manager needs to start moving things around, it could get into some serious conflicts if it doesn't 'lock' the groups beforehand.

If you're not using the geometry manager, then please ignore :-)
