[pacman 3.4.0] Trying to install a group gets every package installed.

I've just finished the installation of an Arch VM, mainly to test the different tiling DEs.

When I finished I was to install the X server as I always did ("pacman -S xorg") but I wanted not to install some packages of that group. The problem is that the question about installing or not the whole group was never presented, and assumed to be true (install the whole group).

Is this the current desired behaviour or a bug? If it is the preferred mode of operation is there a way to get that question back again?

Thank you for your answers in advance.

EDIT: I've just seen the other post about this, this one may be closed / deleted, sorry for the inconveniences caused.
