Referencing a control with a ID 0 and using ID's to reference this

Programaticly putting some text in a field with ID 0 (referencing the
control with the long id) didn't generate
a error but it also didn't put the text in the field, for instance.
Same with properties, no error, but also the propertie didn't get set.
This makes using ID's not reliable.
So to be save, I don't use ID's anymore. It might go well a hundred
times but suddenly you might get an error.
Sometimes I get 8 out of 10 times a ID of 0 when copying a grp.
This also means the it variable might hold a invalid reference to the
newly created grp after copying, so you can't use it reliably
and you have to use the work around to reference the newly created grp.
This problem with the ID of 0 has happened in different stacks and
with different kinds of grp's.
It drove me quite nuts for a while, as the IDE/engine gave sometimes a
error, but not always. This made it difficult to
find what's was going on.
Thanks for the background on that.
If you have a recipe for that please submit a bug report, but to be
honest I've never seen anything like that in 12 years of working with
this engine.
IDs normally begin at 1001 and increment from there for every object
added to the stack.
Given how many people use the DataGrid, which copies groups many times
during its operation, I suspect this bug is not easy to reproduce or
we'd be seeing reports of DG failures.
