How to select image object instead of group

[Scott Rossi]

The only reason I can think of why this would happen is because the image contains transparent regions.  Or from clicking really fast (on any control, not just images), which you would have to address by adding a mouseDoubleDown/mouseDoubleUp handler.

For years I've built stacks with controls created from groups of images, and I haven't noticed any intermittent missing of clicks, or different behavior because the images are grouped.  But as always, getting a simple stack that demonstrates this problem to RunRev support would be helpful for them to address any issue.
