conditional formatting rules breaking up over area. So difficult to manage

Hi,

I've got a large sheet with multiple conditional formats across more than one column. When I created them I selected the whole column.
Coming back to it a day later and the rule manager has them spit them up into loads of separate rules. Obviously a bit of a problem when I want to make a change.

How do I stop this from happening? (I've only deleted one row and put another back in the same place, I am pretty certain I've not made any changes that should break up the formatting as much as it does)

As an aside when I first wrote the rules I typed in G1 or whatever and when I had a look at the conditional formatting manager it had changed them all to G1076384 (or something like that), I assume that is down to selecting the whole column and the number is the bottom cell, but I'm not too bothered about that because editing it fixed it.

Cheers
