grouping weirdness

Post by jalz » Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:33 pm

Hi Guys,

I'm working with LC 7.0.1 Community Edition, when I group two objects together it creates a group which I can rename. The thing is when I click on the first object I would expect the whole group to be selected, but the single object is selected. I don't remember this as normal behaviour, always thought once you group an object, when you select any object within a group it highlights the entire group. I can select the group by going to the application browser. Can anyone confirm whether this is a bug or something I've altered in the LiveCode environment without knowing.

Cheers
Jalz

If you have "select group" hilited in the main toolbar, it will select the individual items. If it is not hilited, it will select the whole group. :D
