    But it seems the clipping group is still working and looks normal to version 1.1.2.ย 

    1.2 has a new icon representing the clipped group.

    Your second picture shows the Layers dialog.
    Your first picture shows the Objects dialog.

    It shows which objects are grouped to be clipped by whatยดs labeled "Clip" in the hierarchy.

    Always have an eye on "Objects" tab - itยดll become messy easily when you start/introduce multiple Clip-Groups for sure.

    And donยดt forget: you can label everything to your taste.
