Grouped items separating unintentionally.

When you create a group of objects, you can move them all together, and that is useful. However, when you first select a group, If you click and drag, as you would to move the object group, this instead moves a single object within the group and not the whole group. Instead you need to click to select the group and then click and drag to move which is a little clunky and annoying when you make a mistake and have to reset the group positioning.It slows down the whole process of using groups.  I was wondering if there are plans to remove this as I think it is undesired behavior for a group of objects. perhaps have the ability to move objects within a group separately under a modifier key like Ctrl or Alt and have it that a group will always move together normally without a modifier, essentially behaving like a single token as the norm. I think this is the expected behaviour when people group things together.

Hey zorilya, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. What do you mean by If you click and drag, as you would to move the object group, this instead moves a single object within the group and not the whole group. I've tried to reproduce this and have not had any luck. I select several tokens and then drag them and it moves the whole group as expected. What exactly are you doing that is not working as intended?

Phil, to replicate this issue, select several tokens, then Right Click > Advanced > Group. Then click-drag (Not click to Select, let go, click-again-and-drag).

Thank you for the clarification, Gold, that did it for me. This definitely isn't working as intended, but I don't have time to work on it right now. I'm going to create a bug report for it and one of us will take closer look at it when we get a chance. I know it's a little cumbersome, but in the mean time you'll just have to do the whole click...then drag rather than click-and-drag.
Thanks Gold and thanks Phil for the update
