Positional Alignmentto something else likeBottom Center - Group the select sources

Anything else we should know?
I also find that sometimes when drag and drop source in or out of the group can make group's position goes wrong, but I can't find a way to reproduce it yet.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed grouped-source and positional-alignment steps in OBS Studio on Windows 10, using the supplied OBS log for context. No source file or test is identified; done means the group retains the expected position after transition, restart, and the reported source drag-and-drop cases.
