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.
