Summary19529: Adding Question only adds to default group without interaction
Description

Not really a bug, more of an annoyance since the launch of V6.

If you have a survey with multiple groups when you add a new question it will always add this to what ever group is assigned to G01***

To stop this, you need to select a question in the group you want this in first and then click the add question and it will add this to the correct group.

Im Often working with 6 or more groups of questions sometimes with 10+ question per group, so there is a lot of scrolling and clicking.

In previous version this didn't seem to happen as there was always a button on the question page once you saved it, and this always added to the same group you are in. Not sure if this was because you were in the group or not, but since the streamline and the removal of this button we have this behaviour.

** Note: There is a secondary bug which I have not been able to replicate and is random so have not yet added a ticket yet. When the above happens and a Question that should for example be in G03, but added to G01 - when i move the question to the right group other questions in that group get reordered. but not every time. Weird.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Create Survey With multiple Groups
Add Questions to multiple groups
Go to last group, select last question and then add a new one - it will be created in the correct group
After clicking save - do not select any group and just click add question - it will be added to G01***

(Replace this text with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue)

Expected result

###Suggestions:
