illustrator question

My question is about grouping so I made a basic window with one black square then 4 white squares in the black one but every time i scale them as a group the black one gets distorted and the white squares obey if that makes any sense.

how do I make them scale as one

also when i undo and resize it and scale it 4 more times it fixes it's self...it's really annoying when trying to resize to the preferred dimensions.

still buggy

Are you using the Direct Selection Tool to select the group or the Selection Tool?
