When I rotate a 2x4 ceiling grid, why does it rotate the ceiling lights too?

So, I select a grid line, click rotate, select a base point, rotate it 90 degrees. It works just fine for the grid... but unfortunately it is using that base point and rotating all lights, diffusers, and anything else attached to the ceiling 90 degrees as well. WHY? What setting can I change to prevent this?

Because they are hosted to ceiling. You can try using the disjoin function to break the hosting.
