Do you have "Live Autoresizing" turned on? I believe it's in the

I didn't have it on (I had never noticed that option) but it doesn't
matter. That only affects what happens when you resize the window.
Hey James -
That option makes the auto resizing rules apply while resizing with the
mouse. It affects both views and windows.
Huh. It does for newly created controls, yes. (I was confused by the
fact that the IB User Guide only talks about resizing windows when
talking about this feature.) Buttons created in IB 2.5 behave as if
bound to the bottom left, even if the size inspector shows them bound to
nothing, or to top right.
I just created a new carbon window nib, with a box in a box, and with
the live auto-resizing option turned off. I didn't see the behavior you
observed. If you re-create the enclosing box, do you still observe the
same behavior?
If I make a new box and copy and paste the old controls into it, I do
still see the problem. It seems to be a property of the buttons,
checkboxes, and whatnot, not of the group box.

When I use Interface Builder 3.1 to edit a nib created with an
earlier version of IB, vertically resizing a group box causes the
controls inside to move as if they were bound to the bottom, which
really makes it painful to rearrange items in the box. I can't see
any setting that would cause them to do that. It doesn't happen
with controls embedded in a user pane. If I replace each control
with an identical-looking new one, then it behaves as expected.
Anyone know a workaround? Even hand-editing XML might be worth it.
