Functionality of AutoPreferredGapSpring should be the same regardless 
how it was added automatically or manually.
The problem is connected to the auto insertion algorithm only. It is 
sensitive to manual AutoPreferredGapSpring added at the leading position 
and do not add extra gaps in this case, but ignores manual gaps on the 
trailing position in the child group and add extra leading gap on the 
parent group level.
