    Move the group so that none of its edges extends beyond the edge of the
    screen.
    You may need to extend the size of the screen by changing the number of
    maintained columns and rows in the screen attributes.
    Alternatively, you can drag and drop the edge of the screen in the
    layout editor to enlarge the screen. To do this, you may first have to
    increase the window size of the layout editor itself.
