Default How do I stop playlist view destroying clip groups?

This may be a silly question, and has probably been covered in the duc before, but the answer is not obvious to me and it's doing my head in somewhat...

I regularly swap between track views using CTRL-CMD left and right. Sometimes over all tracks by adding the ALT key.
However, if I've created a clip group on a track, but then accidentally hit left too many times when going back to the Waveform view, my clip groups on that and associated track are destroyed. I know I can go directly back to waveform view by hitting the "-" key, but the left right is ingrained in me now.

The clip groups still exist in the clip bin, but I then have to spot them back to their original position, which is time consuming to say the least. The action is not undoable, so if you accidentally do it over a number of tracks, the results can be disastrous. (Especially if you use clips groups as notes on groups of files...)

Is this meant to be a feature? (And if so, what purpose does it serve?)

Thanks for your input. (and for putting up with many parenthesis)...
