Yes, group operations in relation to (automatic) connecting is
definitely something I'm not very happy with. When I try to rotate a
group it usually connects wildly beyond recognition. Gotta clean up
every time. If I happen to see all shorts, that is...

If I have the place, I first move the group to a safe area, so it won't
touch anywhere while rotating.
