group remains highlighted even after selection is cleared

Description

Selecting a group (LMB-click) draws a group-border and also draws the group members with highlighted color. This highligted color is not cleared if:

  • the group is moved
  • and then another item is selected

Steps to reproduce

  1. open attached project, open board:group_issue_03.zip
  2. look for group with four resistors, select this group (see picture 1)
  3. group get's marked with "selection highlight" (see picture 2)
  4. move them several times to the left/right (see picture 3)
  5. click on a different item on the board to select that item (for instance some simple textitem)
  6. this new item get's selection highlighting, but the group remains with highlighted color (see picture 4)
  7. only two times ESC clears also the group
