Sometimes when I group objects, the group becomes a "Control Group."
1.) What is a control group?
2.) Why does a group become a "control group" when I didn't specify it as a control group?
3.) How do I ungroup objects in a "control group?" When I try to ungroup "control group" objects, nothing happens -- all the objects remain as a "control group."
Tks.

The callout calls it a Control Group (and does not allow me to edit it). The Object Manager thinks it's just a group of simple objects. What's interesting is that, if I copy the "Control Group" using Ctl-C, and then paste it into another Corel page, it is no longer a Control Group, but is a simple group of 3 objects (correct).

I would guess that it's because one or more dimensions are being controlled by the group.
I drew something similar, with the selected group arranged similarly to yours:
Before adding the dimension, the Status Bar reported that simply as "Group of 3 Objects".
After adding the dimension, the Status Bar reported that group as "Control Group of 3 Objects", and it can no longer be ungrouped.
If I select just the smaller circle on the right, the Status Bar reports it as "Control Ellipse".
After deleting the dimension, the Status Bar report these, respectively, as regular "Group" and "Ellipse" again. The group is now able to be ungrouped.
So, yes - the group has different limitations when a dimension is dependent upon it.
