Hi Nicolas,

The possibly related bug # 8275 "Groups and features ("last group" 
broken?)", filed  in September 2009, is still shown as "pending" and 
"blocker".

Malte's solution to reset the templategroup might indeed help, but it is 
otherwise inconvenient when you have to group and ungroup image parts 
several times in sequence - as is for instance necessary in my 
"Kaleidoscope Tools".

Groups are a very special case in Livecode. I am waiting for a number of 
group bugs to be fixed since some time. It would be nice when the 
Livecode team could finally address and fix such basic features.

Best regards,
