Comment:

 @ettore.gabrielli Thanks for the report!

 I can add some specific details to that, though the discussion of
 improvements to the group block may be better somewhere on the
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues GitHub repo].

 I haven't found anything that cannot be done any more, but methods
 definitely have changed. I noticed two tasks performable one way in 5.3
 that no longer work the same way in 5.4.

 1. To move an existing block to the end of a group block that already has
 another block in 5.3, people using a mouse (or other pointing device)
 could have clicked and dragged the block directly to that location. In
 5.4, clicking and dragging the inner block before an earlier block and
 then clicking the down arrow would work. For a future release, a
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/22031 "Move to" feature]
 should help mouse users as well as keyboard users.

 2. I can't click the parent group block by the border anymore in 5.4. It
 should be better now, with a block tree at the bottom of the editor that
 outlines the block nesting. To select a group block, first select a block
 inside it and then click "Group" at the bottom.
