Description Christian Beshara 2003-02-28 04:28:29 UTC 
Hi, when I shift-select multiple components on a form and 
then left-click to drag around on the form, the components 
are moved as a group the positioning is not maintained 
accurately. For instance, if I have 10 buttons, a few 
separators, a couple textboxes positioned closely, then 
move them as a group, the inter-component spacing is off 
for a random portion of the group after moving has ceased.

I suppose you refer to absolute layout... Looks like that components
are aligned to grid when moved, so fine-tuned positions are screwed.
You should turn off "Apply Grid to Position" in Tools | Options >
Editing > Form Editor Settings : Expert.

I agree it is a bit awkward. But the absolute layout support is just
very simple, there are lots of thing that could be added/improved. You
may formulate an ENHANCEMENT of what could be improved, I think we
don't have such in IssueZilla yet.

So this does not seem to be a bug. Closing as INVALID.
