Hardware Setup: 1 x Arena + 1 x TNP (on closed Nv2 wireless network)

Issue: Layouts revert to default when merging or replacing groups with groups

Steps to reproduce:

Merging
1. Create two groups containing an amount of fixtures and apply layouts to each, examples...

Code: Select all

[Group1]          [Group2]
1 * * *           * * * 8
* 2 * *           * * 7 *
* * 3 *           * 6 * *
* * * 4           5 * * *

2. From a clear programmer, select Group2, then <Record> <Group> choose Group1 followed by softkey C "Merge into Group..."
3. Open the layout editor for Group1, the layout will be...

Code: Select all

[Group1]
1 * * * 5 6 7 8
* 2 * * * * * *
* * 3 * * * * *
* * * 4 * * * *

...but the expected layout would be...

Code: Select all

[Group1]
1 * * * * * * 8
* 2 * * * * 7 *
* * 3 * * 6 * *
* * * 4 5 * * *


Replacing
1. Create two groups containing an amount of fixtures and apply layouts to each, examples...

Code: Select all

[Group1]          [Group2]
1 * * *           * * * 8
* 2 * *           * * 7 *
* * 3 *           * 6 * *
* * * 4           5 * * *

2. From a clear programmer, select Group1 and Group2, then <Record> <Group> choose Group1 followed by softkey B "Replace Group..."
3. Open the layout editor for Group1, the layout will be...

Code: Select all

[Group1]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *

...but the expected layout would be...

Code: Select all

[Group1]
1 * * * * * * 8
* 2 * * * * 7 *
* * 3 * * 6 * *
* * * 4 5 * * *


Additional notes
When recording/creating a new group from existing groups the layout(s) are retained as expected, i.e. selecting Group1 and Group2 then recording a new group by either double tapping an empty group tile or <Record> <Group> followed by choosing an empty group tile, opening the layout editor for the newly created group shows the layout to be...

Code: Select all

[Group3]
1 * * * * * * 8
* 2 * * * * 7 *
* * 3 * * 6 * *
* * * 4 5 * * *

This layout retention behaviour when creating a new group is also the behaviour I would expect when replacing or merging with existing groups.
