Whiteboard: Select single object to delete (not object group!)

Hello,

Sometimes when I select a single object, for some odd reason Microsoft Whiteboard will select a group. For instance, here I wanted to delete just the big top left circle, not the small bottom right circle. When I selected the top left circle, automatically the bottom right circle was included in the selection. Of course if I hit delete now, both will get deleted. 

 

Question:
How do I select a single object when whiteboard has automatically created a group selection?

    It appears you can't move sticky notes/text with drawn lines around them. However, you can use the control key to independently select just the line from the group selected notes/text. However, when multiple lines are grouped, I have no idea how to select them independently.  NOTE: I also find that keeping text in front of lines ("Ctrl + Shift + ]") enables independent selection.

     

    Still need help on selecting individual drawn objects when they are selected as a group.
