Has anyone else noticed braindead behavior for custom Box classes in IB  
3.0? We have an AfsBox class with some additional ivars to secure the  
contents. Of course, the Group operation doesn't work, so you have to  
alt-drag objects into it individually. So far so good. But once they're  
inside, IB refuses to recognize them as attachable (i.e., it won't draw  
rings around them while you're alt-dragging). Has anyone else noticed  
this, and has it been reported to NeXT?

No I have a palette with a subclass of Box, and this behaviour doesn't  
happen at all.  My version in Release 3.0 v359.0, which is what came with  
the release of 3.0.

But then again:

It's a well known (and well documented) bug that you can't alt drag objects  
in IB anymore.  So obviouslly we have differnent versions.  Fess up, what  
version number do you have?
