What did you expect to see?

Node to be deleted

What did you see instead?

Node is automatically added to the group and so the entire group is deleted.

If a node is not in a group ‘properly’ and the node is moved, the node is automatically added to the group. This is expected behaviour. The UX problem is that once added, the entire group is selected, so if you hit delete expecting to delete the node, the entire group is deleted. The solution is for Dynamo NOT to modify the current selection once the node is moved. This seems far more logical to me. Why would I need to select all the nodes in a group?

I find this super annoying as well. I often drop a couple of nodes into a group and want to rearrange them afterwards. Always end up moving the entire group because the selection has changed from the nodes to the group.

I will echo that myself, looking into this
