Hi There,Well, my feeling is that if doing something manually produces a different result than doing something programmatically, that (IMHO) it's a bug.

Subject: Copying a group
Before I bugzilla this, I want to know if others think it really is a bug, or if it should be considered normal behavior. I can't decide.
I have a group that consists of several fields. The group has backgroundBehavior set to true. Each card has different text in the fields of the group. The current card of the stack is, say, three.
In another stack, I issue the command:
copy group "myGroup" of stack "Main" to this cd
I expect to see the contents of card three when the group is copied. Instead I see the contents of card one. The work-around is to go to the Main stack, copy the group, go back to the second stack, and paste. Then I do get the contents of card three.
The results of the copy command kind of make sense, since I didn't specify what card I wanted, and so I got the first card by default. However, the command:
copy group "myGroup" of cd 3 of stack "Main" to this cd
doesn't work either, I still get the contents of card one.
Is it a bug or is it normal?

It's probably running in this way :
The group "mygroup" (set with backgroundbehavior to true, for all over the stack) don't lies on card 3 but on card 1 and is shared with each cards of the stack --> the MC engine find an kind of object pointer, aka an alias, for group "mygroup" of cd 3 and take and copy the original needed object for where it lies in the stack : on card one...
If yes, it's not a bug but a feature and the work-around is to copy, in two times, the group object first and, the contents of what appears in this group object on card 3.
Hope this help ;-)
