BackgroudBehavior of a group

[Peter Haworth]

It was only a surprise because the dictionary says

"Use the *backgroundBehavior* property to make groups behave like
backgrounds and to automatically place groups on newly created cards."

Nothing about cards in the same stack.

But I agree it couldn't work across stacks.  Except that I just copied the
card in question to a different stack and the group came over with it.  So
that's my workaround.
