Why do group ID's change when cloning a stack

Take a look whether the layers of your groups or their objects had changed!

I ran into that sort of difficulty a couple of years ago and found it 
very annoying to have to reestablish references to objects based on IDs, 
however - at that time, I did not test now - the IDs were changed when a 
stack was cloned in case the *layers* of the objects had changed.

Attributing of new IDs will also happen when a card is copied within the 
same stack or to another stack (because IDs are unique in a stack), but 
the order of the IDs will remain the same - unless you have changed the 
layers of the card objects.
