It could indeed be the case that these issues are related.
In September 2009 - 6 years ago - I filed a bug report "Bug 8275 -
Groups: Bugs and features ("last group" broken)?" that as of today has
not yet been resolved and is still listed as "pending". These and other
problems IMHO belong to the substantial number of issues in
Revolution/Livecode that are somewhat "fundamental" to the functionality
of Livecode, but unfortunately never caught the real attention of the
developer team. One can speculate about the reasons for this , e.g.
whether it is a result of a very creative-spontaneous (but less
organized) development strategy or even a certain disregard (or lack of
knowledge) of established procedures in software development - that
would have been easily accessible, but maybe were not accessed and
consulted because of a certain lack of manpower. One of the basic
procedures of organized software development is the application of
"power testing" of newly introduced features, meaning that new features
should be tested with test stacks under extreme conditions.
I remember Kevin stating - about 10 years ago - that such test stacks
could constitute a valuable tool for development, meaning that at that
time such test stacks were not used - and I am really unsure if such
development procedures are the state of the art implemented now in Livecode.
