Cloning stack reset object IDs?

[Pete]

Hi Richard,
Just the datagrid group, not the stack itself.

Here's what I see when cloning.  If I clone a card, the controls on it are
given a new set of IDs.  If I clone a stack, the controls within the new
stack retain the IDs from the original stack.  I guess that's what I would
have expected.

One other thing I noticed when I was doing this test.  The IDs of the
controls I put on the first card I set up for the test weren't numbered
consecutively, they were 1004, 1006, 1008, etc.  When I cloned that card,
the IDs were consecutive, 1011, 1012, 1013, etc.  Is there a reason why the
first card's control IDs went up in 2's?
