Please repair selection of path text objects in a group
When text on a path is part of a group, it is no longer possible to select and delete it.
In previous versions Alt-Shift-Direct Selection allowed to select the path text and delete it, but in the latest version, this tries to delete the path from the text object, which results in 'Can't clear the Objects'.

Jan, I can’t delete a path from a type-on-path object using the Groups Selection tool (this is what Alt for Direct Selection tool enables), in CS6, which is a 'previous version' — the same warning with an error is given. Do you mean some earlier version? or another, specific one, in case this ability appeared later and vanished after?
Although, it does not really differ if I try to group the type-on-path or leave it as it is, but you specifically mention a group...
Can you please provide some more details on this? Perhaps you still have an access to the version that is able to do that and can record a demo, or give the specific exact steps? Please help to understand this. As far as I remember, it was never possible to convert a type-on-path into just a type, therefore this script exists: https://kelsocartography.com/scripts/scripts/nvkelso/DetachTextFromPath.jsx
