Richard,
Thanks for this really valuable information.
"set the boundingrect of group x to the rect of group x" solves the
complete list of problems, the "setting" and "keeping" bugs are no
longer interfering and all side effects have gone away - like with the

Yes, with the default dynamic behavior of groups this is what most folks
will experience. But some time ago I needed more canvas-like behaviors,

Not sure, but I'd guess that the OP is falling afoul of the elastic

groups automatically snap to the bounds of whatever they contain
