I have noticed that blocks are not able to save group definitions. I add grouped objects to a block, or create a block that contains grouped objects; when I go back to edit the block, the objects that were previously grouped still exist, but are no longer grouped. Is this expected behavior, or am …

Hello Brian, referring to the “block edit ungrouping issue”, it still happens in Rhino 7: does someone plans to solve this as well, in a future service release? This problem is really annoying.
