I still have issues with connectors getting disconnected.
(1) Create three squares
(2) Group two of them together
(3) Create a connector between
(a) One anchor of the single square
(b) One anchor within the two group squares
(4) Select everything
(5) Move the selection
==> The connector gets disconnected from the group.

Another strange behavior is that when you select only the squares and not the connector, and try to move them wit your mouse, until you release the mouse button, the end of the connector to the group does not move. Just aesthetics though...

Yeah, I've noticed too that when you select objects including a connector and then move the objects, the connector gets disconnected :-(

The only workaround I can see is to group EVERYTHING together in your example, and when you want to edit a single element in the group, click once to select the group, click again to select the item to be moved, and then move it. This seems to work.
