I'm having the same issue.
It seemed at first to be a problem if I first tried Command+U to ungroup (which did not ungroup it) and then I would right click and select "ungroup" and still did not ungroup. So then its select all, cut, exit group, paste in place.
But if I didn't try Command+U first, right clicking and selecting ungroup would work.
Not anymore though. I can't get groups to ungroup themselves at all now in any way. Remarkable what a pain it is!
