A problem with radio buttons group...

[Mike Bonner]

The reason it is behaving this way is you are checking for a false in
your case statements. You only really care about which buttons are
true.  If you check against false you get a match before the 2nd click
because the condition started out as false.

Switch your logic around to only check for true/true only.  So for
example your second case checks part1a of group part1 is false, simply
change the check to group part1b true and you get the correct result
of 1b is checked, but don't get any false positives if nothing is
chosen.
Same for the 3rd case, change both to true checking the opposite
button, so would check for part1b true and part2b true. 4th case,
check for part2b true as your change there.
