Re: Invisible border on grouped graphic

Thanks Klaus

It's the opaque of the group that's doing it -- not what I was expecting.

If I ungroup the front group this behaviour goes away a...

Re: UML

A newcomers question. If I want a main window with a variety of dialogs that come up from time to time, it seems that I could take two approaches:
(a) one stack with lots of cards
(b) lots of stacks with one card each
Which would be the best approach, and why?
