Grouped icons fall apart when moving.

Thanks Matthew, that will definitely work in the short term. It's slightly concerning going forwards, but no more than I have come to expect from Storyline 360! 

As ever I shall cross my fingers and wait for the next clanger.

Amanda, having problems with groups is well-known in SL. Less known, but (in my opinion), worse are the problems of trying to copy and paste between projects. it may not help in this situation, but importing the slide and erasing the unwanted objects is the only successful method of moving objects from one project to the next. As i say, Micheal's experience suggests that this may not work in this case, but I think it is preferable to changing them to one graphic image.

On the other hand, FWIW, if you are going to go the one graphic route, I find using a snipping tool faster than saving as a picture.

I appreciate the insight. At the moment, with the various project versions I am working on, I think importing entire slides and deleting unwanted assets would be so time consuming as to defeat the object as I'm working with so many small icons. However you have given me an idea to create an "asset slide" in each project and use that to move the icons around. Thanks for the tip!

I just ran into this same issue and wow is it frustrating! Have you found any additional solutions in the last few weeks since your orig post?!

I ended up ungrouping my icons (icons on a circle shape with text below) and then they would move together if I selected them all. Then I would regroup. I had to examine all of the triggers related to these groups and adjust if the group name was lost, etc.

Thanks for popping in to share your support case Matthew. I can see that Robert has reported this for some additional investigation.

This bug appears to still be present, whenever moving icons or grouped shapes. So far only resolution is to ungroup and try to set everything back to original state before grouping again. 

May also be related to undo feature? 

Hi Greg,

I just wanted to confirm that this is still an open issue with our team, but now that you're subscribed to this conversation, we'll let you know once we have more info to share. 

So this is a 2-year-old issue and it has not been addressed by Articulate. SMH... Anyway, this may help someone: One of the issues here is that sub-grouped objects can confuse Storyline. Being that it appears to be built, more or less, on a PowerPoint framework, on-screen vector graphic manipulation is quite limited in many key respects. 

If you have objects grouped WITHIN your main group, this could exacerbate the issue outlined at the start of this thread. SL doesn't seem to understand how to manage the multiple grouping relationships, and you try moving the group or resizing it, and it goes pretty haywire. Try ungrouping everything and regroup as one group. It seems to have mostly solved the issue for me. 

I see this is STILL not resolved or am I just silly?  I insert icons and SL recognises them as ungrouped 'freeform' objects when trying to create triggers,  Any advice?
