Expected Behavior

The group should not move when moving the items within the group.

Current Behavior

The whole group's position will slowly "drift" across the screen.
Example below.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the drift using the listed group and positional-alignment steps on Windows 11, then trace the group positioning behavior shown by the OBS log and video. Done means moving an item inside a non-top-left-aligned group no longer changes the group's position.
