Keeping the Sound and video tracks together

I am editing some fairly long interviews that are broken up into multiple clips.
Sometimes when I move them around or overlap them for fades, the sound and video tracks "seperate" and only the one my cursor is on will move.
I cant seem to pin down what I'm missing as it does not happen all the time. Is there a way to "lock" each individual clips sound and video. I have tried "goups" but that does not always give the desired result ?

If you use Ctrl and left-click on each clip it should work.

In the toolbar at the top of the screen is a button that looks like two strips of film with a padlock between them. This is the "Ignore event grouping" button. If you have this turned on then every event is separate rather than being attached to anything else. Normally the audio & video of a clip are grouped together by default. If this button is on then they will move independantly.

I have noticed that often after splitting an event, the audio & video after the split aren't grouped anymore. Usually i will immediately select both (click on one, then Ctrl-click on the other) and type G to group them back together. Of course, this only helps if Ignore event grouping is off.
