'manual' Copy and paste of multiple objects to new card ungroups grouped objects

David,

They way I’ve done this is to select the whole group before copying… tuning on “Select Group” rather than the individual controls. That has worked fine… scripts are kept.

It all looks good, but after doing this for some time, I discovered that all groups are disappearing, along with any associated scripts.  The once grouped objects don’t disappear, so at first sight everything looks hunky dory, but actually is badly broken.
