Loss of Connection Point Functionality for Grouped Shapes

[PSUGabe]

Hello,
I am having a problem with Connection Points losing their functionality
when they are part of a Grouped Shape.
Description: I create a shape with a Outward connection point - the
shape properly 'snaps' to an Inward connection point on another shape. BUT,
if I group the shape containing the Outward connection point with other
shapes, the new Grouped Shape no longer has the proper 'snap' functionality.
The connection point is still visible and still registers as an Outward
connection point, but it no longer functions. (One little tidbit of
information: the number of shapes in the new Grouped Shape directly
correlate to the functionality of the Outward connection point. I.e. if the
Grouped Shape is comprised of 'n' number of shapes, it works, but if it is
'n+1' is does not.)
Any ideas?

Thank You, Gabriel

How many shapes are in the group ?

Paul,
The "magic" number seems to be 25. I can group 24 shapes and the
connection point works. I add the 25th shape and the connection point fails.

Thank You, Gabriel
