Don't try to adjust the menu group. I suspect you are issuing a "print 
this card" command. Remember that the whole card is not visible because 
the top area has scrolled out of view, but it does contain the menu 
group, which will print when you "print card".

The solution is simple. Instead of printing the whole card, just print 
the area from the bottom of the menu group to the bottom of the card. 
That way the card scroll won't change and the objects will remain where 
they appear on screen.
