I believe that the problem is that send farther also includes card fields
it its list of items that it will consider to be behind the current
button.  Thus if you have a button as the first item on the card then
a field then another button, send farther will send the top button below
the field but higher than the first button.

I hope this shed some light on the subject :^)
