Issues with grouping and light

Hi, people. First time I post something here. I've been a member for more that a year and I like a lot the roll20 tools. Sometimes we find minor issues but it's ok. Two things that we have since forever are: 1- Grouping tokens: I dunno if it's just me, but the group tokens doesn't work too well or I'm doing something wrong. After I group two or more objects in the map, if I want to drag all of them at once, the pointer just drag the one token where I started the dragging and let the rest behind only for making the group area bigger. That's really annoying cause I need to click on the group first to activate the square selection and then click again to move the group. No need to say this issue makes the control of objects chaotic and slows the game, making the grouping tool almost pointless. It's something wrong with the way I do it? I need to point that there's nothing like an advanced instruction for grouping in the manual... it just says: group them all, using Advanced>>Group, and that's it. 2- Light source: When I set the light source with an angle to make the light to have a conical or a semi spherical shape, the light always points upwards, but every token in the library is by default looking downwards. That's a pity cause it's lame to play like that. It's a cosmetic feature that makes you to play with the tokens emanating light out of its butts and it's better not to use it cause the bad looking. There's a way to set it downwards or that's it? It will be a shame if we never could use this good feature, we never use portrait or icon coins as tokens but the "characters seen from above" tokens; we like those better.
For issue 1, I'm not seeing this behavior. If I group (either by selecting with a box or shift-selecting additional tokens), they move together as expected. I'd have to ungroup to split them up like in the picture. Can you do a click-by-click description of what you're doing, and/or post what browser you're using? For issue 2, try right-clicking each token, then select "Advanced" and "Flip Vertical". Once you have this working for each character, you'll likely want to refresh the default token for the character. This is done by removing the default from the character sheet, then adding the newly-lighted token as the default. You'll have to do it once per character (and probably re-up the token on all existing pages that you'll return to) but going forward it should work fine.

1. You need to double-click on the group to select both tokens. Otherwise you have just selected the token you clicked on. 2. As Kikanaide said, you can flip the token. Neither of these are bugs but if they are not working the way you would like them to work I suggest posting a suggestion in the suggestion forum.
