Max,

I tried w/ 3d boxes earlier. They do not move, other items are moved to the 3d boxes position one by one.

So what is the order when the user selects the objects by drawing a
rubberband around them, or by using "Select All" (Ctrl+A)? I suppose
that it is predictable, but is it transparent to the user? And does it
result in the behaviour the user expects (whatever that may be)? I
think that the current behaviour is useful, but it's potentially
dangerous to assume that it is always what the user wants.

One option would be to break ties by taking z-order into account. Or
to move those objects as if they were a single object. But what does
'located at the same X' position mean anyway? When looking at the left
border, the right border, the rotation center, ...? Just a few points
to consider.

P.S.: The issues you encountered with 3D boxes are indeed not caused
by your code. Maybe they are already fixed by my recent commits.
Otherwise I will take a look at them soon-ish.
