Ok, you can collapse a group to reduce seeing that when scrolling through the nodes.

My _subflow_ list is getting quite big.

I collapse it and it is good.

But then I search for a node.

The node becomes visible and I drag it into the work area.

I then close the search and........ the _subflow_ group is no longer collapsed.

Not a big worry, but could it be done that when you collapse a group it remains collapsed until you expand it?
