Objects do not snap to objects within a group

When scaling or repositioning objects contained within a group, the object should snap to other objects within that group (when smart guides are enabled).

This includes images within frames. EG, if you want to resize an image within a frame to the edge of the frame, this won’t work if the frame is part of a group.

This issue remains in 2026.
