This sounds suspiciously like a a problem I ran into
last week, which turned out to be a hardware rendering
issue. By switching to software rendering, the problem
completely disappeared. In any case, turning software
rendering on is the FIRST thing I check when I have
ANY kind of problem with object graphics. It solves
about 80% of my problems. :-)

I think you solved your other problem correctly by
using a container object.

Cheers,

David
