hide / show oddities ?

[Peter Haworth]

Finding a recipe was my problem too.  It hasn't happened for a while but I
think it might have had something to do with nested groups.

While we're talking about groups, I feel they're unnecessarily difficult to
edit in LC.  I find myself constantly clicking on the Select Grouped icon
when I'm formatting groups and their controls.  And trying to move a nested
group to a different location is a pain - you should be able to do that
without going into edit mode or being limited to using the arrow keys.

I'd like to see something like this irrespective of the state of
selectGroupedControls.

If I click on a control within a group, it is selected.

If I click within the rectangle of a group but outside the rectangle of any
of its controls, the group is selected even if it's a nested group and I
can then get into edit mode on it or drag it around the screen.

That happens to suit the way I use groups but maybe it wouldn't work for
all. I'd be happy if the above behavior was conditional on a modifier key
in conjunction with mouse click.
