copy group to new stack

[Henk van der Velden]

I did some further testing to find out what is the simplest way to  
reproduce this behaviour (I sort of consider it to be a bug).
Essentially it comes down to this:

1. there are two stacks, A and B
2. in stack A a command is issued, consisting of:
2a: create a new card in stack B
2b: copy an editable text field from stack A to stack B

It turns out that the text of the editable text field is not copied  
to stack B, only the (empty) field.
If you skip step 2a, both the editable field and its content are  
copied to stack B.

Any opinions on this?
