the option of "boundingrect not empty and lockLocaction true", which
would describe the properties of the group as I use it now, is absent in
the comments.
I could *not* verify the last sentence of the comments: "If the group is
a scrolling group, dragging an object in it automatically scrolls the
group".
I think this entry for "boundingrect" in the docs needs to be updated,
too. And I also recommend to change the note for entry "location" to
"If you want to set the loc of an object inside a group reliably, set
the boundingrect of the group to the rect of the group".-
The Comments section is open to you as a way to provide the information
you feel is useful immediately.
For the main dictionary entry, use the Documentation specifier when
filing the request in the RQCC.
If the boundingrect of a group is such a powerful property I wonder why
the default for groups isn't "boundingrect not empty" and is
automatically set to the coordinates when a group is created or resized ?
It depends what you want to do with the group. Groups are very dynamic
by default, adjusting themselves for whatever contents are inside of
them. Altering that behavior with the boundingRect is useful for making
canvas-like regions, but if you're not after a canvas you may prefer the
default behavior.
