I see it is good feature in many cases.

May be I didn't describe it enough exact due to my bad english. I mean changing
when circle and line are moved together as selected objects. In this situation
relative position of line and circle is not changing, thus behavior is odd.

In most cases, grouping is not convenient for me to solve this problem.
