well that bug is exclusively in the web version 🙂  
and selecting the element, pressing enter (or return, same thing) then escape is the current solution…

you need to select only THE problematic group or component, if you do cmd-a you’ll select everything. and you can’t open everything at once (therefore pressing enter doesn’t do anything)
