Try comparing the properties of a group that works with the one that 
doesn't. Also compare individual field properties, in particular check the 
traversalOn, autoHilite, and lockText. That alone wouldn't explain why it 
appears to fix itself occasionally, but could point to a script that 
changes one of these properties.
