I am using the container object (under the misc tab) rather than groups- probably just habit as I see “groups” have improved. In any case, if you rotate objects that are in containers, they do rotate correctly but are displaced hundreds of pixels away- far beyond the borders of the container. The visible effect is that when you rotate them they disappear.

You can relocate them back within the visible bounds by manually changing their X and Y positions.

Did you happen to move the group while it was rotating? We've seen something similar to this happening that we are working on a fix for. Moving an object while it is rotating keeps the center of rotation at the original location instead of moving with the object and can then cause this behavior.
