Still there in OI32….
Copy and paste multiple controls that reside within a group box.
Drag these to a new location within the group box.
Click away, outside the group box, and the controls disappear.
Clicking again on the group box refreshes OK, but this is most annoying when you are trying to align a selection of controls.

Umm, umm, group box in foreground, opaque, umm, umm, move controls to foreground and display, umm,….
I agree about group boxes obscuring controls within them. So what explicit display rules do you think should occur here? Group box always behind other controls on the form? Even this might be tricky, if when moving the controls they are not "on" the form.
Today, this irritated me so much that I developed a procedure to work around the problem. Select the Group box, and set VISIBLE to false$. Reposition the controls within the (now invisible) box. On the forms designer view menu, check "view invisible controls." Select the Group box, and set VISIBLE to True$. Then uncheck "View invisible controls."
I really see your point, Colin.
