Dialog Box Sizes

from Stardock Forums

I am new to Groupy... 

I am using it to group a database program PL/SQL developer from Allaround Automations. I connect to prod with one copy of the program and test with another. With Groupy the two programs are next to each other. A very nice solution. 

I am getting some weird results. That is of course the reason for this topic. Some of the dialog boxes (open, close and save as) resize themselves to be the same size as the group and then become another Groupy tab. 

Is there an option to change this behavior?

I had the program set to Automatic application grouping. When showing the dialog box, a new Groupy tab was created. 

Here is a link to the video. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtIFLCpqJ7gbgY8UVoNE7ic9NDSCyw

I removed the program from "Automatic application grouping" and the dialog box was normally sized and did not create a tab in Groupy. 

I had tried this program with an earlier version and it did not group at all. At least it now groups manually.

Another example of a similar issue:
When you use WinSCP, open a file in the editor and then do CTRL+F, the search screen will open on top of the WinSCP screen, not grouped, same coordinates, in exactly the same size as its parent window. 

It does get weirder though. If I exclude the WinSCP.exe, the search window will then start grouping itself to the (by the looks of it) highest z-ordered window capable of grouping. Only when I ungroup it by dragging it away, the search window will open the normal way. Until WinSCP is started again, than it starts this 'auto-grouping' behaviour again. (This happens whether or not WinSCP is also excluded from the real auto-grouping.)
