Yes.  It seems that the gravity disappears (or is greatly
diminished) only when the objects are grouped and then
connections made between them.

I haven't tried using the other simulation method of detecting
collisions between all elements and not using groups.
I'll try that next to see if that will work.

I'm still curious why this is happening though.

Thank you.  I spent a lot of time isolating the conditions of
this problem.  I was hoping to make those conditions clear
in my post.
