Moving Grouped Map Tiles

When tiles on the map layer are grouped, sometimes when selecting the group and moving it, it will only move one of the tiles. Further, other times, when you move the group, there are times when the items in the group are no longer aligned.
Yeah, it's annoying... if you have grouped items together and click, hold, drag, move all at once... it only moves the one piece you clicked on in the group and then screws up the alignment. If you click on the grouped items, and then click and hold... it will move the grouped items together. As I said... annoying.
I have noticed it doesnt happen as often if the tiles are all set using "is drawing"
I haven't been able to replicate this on my end- I have about 200 tiles I am moving around at once but they all seem to be moving as a group. Is there any steps I can follow to try to replicate this issue?
1. Group two tokens. 2. Do not have them selected. 3. Click, hold, and drag (just like you would if grabbing a file on the desktop to drag to the recycle bin) 4. One of the grouped items will move while the rest are left behind To get around this annoying behavior, you have to click to select and then click and hold to move.
Yep got it. Thanks HoneyBadger. It is easy to replicate. I wasn't grouping them early- I had actually never used that feature before. I've recorded the bug for the other devs and shared your steps. @John H., Until the bug is fixed I suggest using the work around Honey Badger posted.
Thanks @HoneyBadger for the work around! I'll continue to do this until the bug is resolved.
Could this be a browser issue? I had this or similar problems when using Safari, but not Chrome.
I don't think so Mac. I have the issue occurring in Firefox and Chrome. Are you doing the same thing in both browsers still or was this an issue you ran into in the past?
I've noticed that most of my problems with moving single or grouped objects occur when I use Safari. But I usually don't have this problem with Roll20 while using Chrome.
I don't have a mac to test it on but I believe the browsers we officially support are just Chrome and Firefox so that might be it.
