Definite Bug

[Bob Sneidar]

Yes if the object is already in a group you cannot relayer this way. You must first ungroup, set the layer then regroup. Thankfully, the group recreates itself as it was before you ungrouped it. Nice touch from a long time ago.

It's such a challenge that the only way I'm able to successfully move a group is to look up the layers of all objects/groups in the application browser (aka "revolutionApplicationOverview") and then manually set the layer of the group (via msg box) to a number that is either above or below  in between of any other group.. even then it doesn't always work as I hope…

I will submit a bug report, but everyone should be aware of this so they do not completely jack up their layering.
