I think remaking the group should fix it. After reading your description 
I suspect it was a conversion problem in the engine. I have often had 
similar things happen with buttons when I open HyperCard stacks for 
conversion. The button type doesn't get set correctly and often I need 
to just remake it.

The file format of stacks changed in version 2.7 and it may be that some 
of your fields didn't come over intact. That's about all I can think of. 
But re-doing the group should solve it, I think you're safe.
