As the title says, when you group components, all presets get overwritten. Kinda unlucky if you had lots of cool presets before :S

This happens because the old control components went inside the group, and FF created new replacement controls outside the group for which presets don't yet have any data.
Try grouping the component itself, without top-level control components connected to it. |

If any presets are present on a control component that becomes "grouped", why not just copy those over to the newly created control components outside the group?

This could be solved by leaving the old controls untouched and creating those inside the group, as opposed to moving old ones inside the group and adding new ones (with the new IDs that mess up presets) on the top level.
The key thing is control IDs. If they are untouched, the presets will work correctly after grouping. I'll ask the guys about it. |

Ah well for now I can live with just leaving them out. but it would be cool if a better solution could be found in the future.
What is also very annoying, is that if you temporarily disconnect a control, it changes it´s position in Order Of Controls. Not so bad with a single control. But now with the groups, if you disconnect a group all of the controls attached to it reset their position. It would be cool if Order Of Controls could stay fixed unless you actually deleted a control  |

I believe the modification you proposed would also solve (or rather circumvent) the issue of lost connections for obsolete Color components. [Clicky] New color components are created inside the group, but the obsolete ones remain outside, with their connections intact! A definite +1! --- Crapadilla says: "Damn you, stupid redundant feature requests!" ;) |

Yes, this is quite possible. Let's wait for what the programmers have to say on this. |

I think we just accidentally fixed this while fixing another bug. When grouping, the presets are no longer lost (though we still disconnect the old Color control, as before).
