#154 Grouped dependencies chainging
[I would have set the Group (above) to 1.10.1 if it was
available!]
Im setting out a gantt for a project, but cannot get it to
reliably start groups at the same time as other groups
(Start-Start).
Three 'groups' deep (eg project/a/b/{3 tasks}) seem to
be fine. But when I have mulitple entries at Four down
(eg project/a/b/c/{n tasks}) and start making use of
start-start to ensure one group starts at the start of
an 'overall group' strange things happen. The chart
renders incorrectly and sends the task off into the past
or future. If I month-forward/back and return sometimes
it repaints correctly.
Upshot, It has a problem with nested groupings of tasks,
Ill attach my gan file for review. Everything starts going
wrong at Stage 4:
Stage 4 - Development contains sub groups
'0.1 release' should start-start at the start of Stage 4
'0.2 release' should finish-start at the end of '0.1 release'
Example #1
'0.1 release' group doesnt accurately reflect duration of
tasks grouped under it.
Example #2
'0.2 release' group, when edited and '0.1 release' set as
finish-start predecessor, the ui goes nuts and shifts 0.2
into the future and 0.1 and Stage 4 into the past, but
a 'zoom/forward/back' fixes the problem.
the size of the 0.1 group is not accurate, the end is two
days short so group 2 starts before the finish of the 0.1
enclosed tasks.
I wish this thing worked !

OK, just downloaded 1.10.2, this appeared at first glance to
fix some of the problems I had with 1.10.1, unfortunately
after a few clicks the UI is looking wierd with tasks starting
way off in the distance despite being configured with a start-
start of its direct grouping task.
Problems remaining with 1.10.2 (and attached .gan) include a
group (stage 1) not correctly reflecting the combined duration
of its tasks, or looking at a different way, the rendered tasks
exceed the duration of the group.
Doh! Im going to load old versions and hope its a recently
introduced bug
