Grouping striped my .CS files?

TGB seems to be flaky with grouping items in the Object Tree.
I have built up a significant level with many items during the past couple of months. It was getting hard to manage things so I started grouping sections in the Object Tree. I try to save the project at different stages of work so I have a number of files at various stages. The 7 saves with grouped items have lost all content in the Scene View. They have been fine until this week. I have gone back at different times and viewed different saved projects for various checks, they were OK. Now they are empty of sprites, scrollers and tilemaps. Only the scene objects are there.
The two pre grouping saves are fully intact.
The resource content seems to be intact and OK.
Does anyone know of a way to get TGB to re-recognize the content in the Scene View?

that's a bummer.
it's not going to help you now,
but to protect yourself from stuff like this in the future by using a version control utility. "subversion" with "tortoise" is a free and excellent version control system. not only does it protect you from lost files, but it keeps an entire history of your project, so when (not if) you notice that a bug crept in somewhere, you can go back through the code history and see where it happened.

I am quite sure I did not do anything that would have normally striped them out(such as making a distributable build, whatever that would involve). I believe it has to do with grouping items.
How might this have happened?
