Problem with form - group item type

Hi folks,

I have a form, much like:

..
GRID
{
 ... various items
  [item1                                               ]

  <G g1                                >
   [item2      ][item3    ][item 4    ]

  [item5                                                       ]
 ... more items
}
END
..

According to the docs, I need space around the items that are to be contained
within the GROUP item type to separate them from other items.  I've done
that.  Problem is, when I compile this form, I get an error saying:

# The element 'item5' conflicts with group-box 'g1'.
# See error number -6813.

Only way I can compile this form is to end the GRID after the GROUP item (and
the item2-4 row) and start a new GRID before item5 (and put lots of
whitespace in front of item5 to line it up, more or less, with the items in
the preceeding GRID.

GDC version is 1.31.1l, build 293.47.  Form compiler version is 620.267.

Why does the form compiler think that items after the blank line are part of
the group?  What am I doing wrong?

Cheers!
Jon
