On the upper left side of the screen you can see the portraits of your party members. When the 3 lower ones are linked together and the one on top is alone and then you try to pull him down to the top position of the lower group, you get the message that he is too far away, no matter how close they are.
You can pull him to any position except the uppermost one of the lower group. In fact, you cannot pull any party member to the top position of a group if there is another group above them. But only in the group setup as shown in the image, this error message appears. In all other cases where you cannot move a char to the top of a group, no error message appears. (by group I mean party members that are linked together).
