sendBackwards not working when group is selected.

[mahadazad]

sendBackwords on a group does not work. Even if you send the object while traversing over the group:

canvas.getActiveGroup().forEachObject(function(o) {
canvas.sendToBack(o);
});

like that

var sendBackwards = function () {
    var activeGroupObject = canvas.getActiveGroup();
    if (activeObject) {
        canvas.sendBackwards(activeGroupObject);
    }
};

I can confirm this in 1.4.0 and 1.4.7 (current ./dist build). 1.4.0 example: http://jsfiddle.net/BL9VL/

To reproduce:

1. Arrange two objects on top of another object
2. Select the two top objects
3. Click backward

Layers remain positioned as-is. Upon deselection, the previously selected layers (group) are cloned with the correct z-index, but incorrectly positioned. The bounding box is then attached to the correctly positioned element. See this img: http://imgur.com/sKCsltH

After that, things go wonky and you can sometimes get it to appear correctly. I tried canvas.render() after, but no dice.

Yeah, z-index methods never worked with active groups

[cmawhorter]

Ok, then I guess the bug is that it doesn't abort when called on the active group?

Is the suggested workaround stepping through the active group and sending them backward one by one, or just limiting users to one layer at a time?
