Hi all, I'm wondering if there is a way to lock a group in place so
that it maintains a specific rect BUT at the same time show any
objects within that group which are partly, or completely, outside the

an option. Trying to avoid
Anyone have a practical example of a list field with an image set to
char 1 whose aspect ratio scales proportionately when the field's
width is modified?
