Confirmed on 0.47-pre1. A group should be treated as a single object, but instead the objects that inside the group are tweaked. I'm not sure if this is the intended behaviour or not, maybe an option for switching between both modes is needed.

Forgot to mention that tweak tool doesn't actually ungroup, it just treats objects inside a group as if there were ungrouped.

The original report was filed against Windows Vista, but it is also reproducible in Linux.

This is intended behavior according to the release notes:

«The tool will work on any number of selected objects; for example, you can select all (Ctrl+A) and "smear" your entire drawing by Push mode or paint it by Color Paint mode. You can also apply it to groups of objects; it will go into groups and act on individual objects inside groups.»

No sure what you mean by this video comment: if you deselect the group every time before switching to the tweak tool, there are no objects to be tweaked (the tool itself cannot select objects):

«If you're trying to use it without anything selected, a message will appear in the statusbar reminding you to select some objects.»

Changing Importance to 'Wishlist' because tool works as intended.
