Can't delete a property of Material Options group

hi guys.
Inside a "Material Options" group, it seems that when I select some property in there, the parent.parent group is also selected, so I can't hit DELETE to delete just a "Front Color", "Bevel Ambient", properties for example.
It deletes the whole shape or text. I can delete the whole "Material Options" group, but have to recreate all other properties.

Hi @Tilles,

Thanks very much for reporting this issue. We are able to reproduce it as well and it's a very frustrating behavior. We've opened a ticket to investigate a fix for a future version of After Effects.

 

Thanks again,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team

    Yes, it seems to be a bug.

    By using a script, you can select and remove the property without deleting the entire group.
