I have nine grouped objects. Each group is linked to an opacity mask. When I use any align function (distribute, center, etc.) Illustrator aligns the objects but not the attached opacity masks. So I have to hand space each group. The same is true with layers.

However Individual paths with opacity masks align just fine.

Is this a bug or a feature? (I don't mean that sarcastically)

Can I get the opacity masks to align with groups?
