I've been wrestling with this in 7.0.5 for a while. Here it is distilled and the simplest way to repeat it: on mouseUp answer the rect of this stack set the decorations of this stack to empty answer the rect of this stack -- we're fine here (same rect)

Scott thanks again. I just uninstalled 7.0.5 and installed 7.1.1 and resolved this issue. I might have also been able to resolve it re-installing 7.0.5. I should have tried this on another system first. I thought mine was pretty stable but I guess things can creep in from time to time.

A nice start. If you were looking to produce an actual parallax effect, this is usually achieved by objects closest to the viewer moving faster than objects farther from the viewer. So you might consider switching the rates you're using on the cloud and figure images. See more in the response
