How to cusotmize a control to cover other controls?

Sorry for not reading the question correctly.

LabVIEW sometimes seems to mess up some coordinates. I think
the result is always there, but only noticable in arrays. You can see
strange selection "ants" (the animated selection square). When moving the
control (not in an array), the selection rectangle sometimes changes size.
The size of the selection rectangle is also different when customizing the
control.

If you eddit a comtrol carefully, it doesn't happen. I'm not sure when it
happens (what you shouldn't do), but in most cases it seems to work fine,
like the attached control (also works inside an array).

Regards,

Wiebe.
