The reason is technical and may not seem right. When you create a group the
Width and Height of the shape are redefined in terms of the Width and Height
of the group shape. This doesn't change the height of the shape, but it
does make the height of the shape dependent on the height of the group.
Later when you resize the group, the height of the shape resized with it.

If you want to completely lock down the height of the shape, you need to
place a GUARD formula in the Shapesheet for that item. Go to Windows Show
Shapesheet. Then find the Height cell and enter "=GUARD(2in)" or a similar
formula.

Hi,

I have draw a simple square shape. then I use protection function to luck
the "High" of this.
It works fine, since I can't change the shape's hight now.

but if I group this shap with other shapes. there is the problem !
when the group have been resized, the protection function is not working
now.
The squire's Hight will increase with the Group.

why ?

how to avoid this ?

any ideals ?

thanks
