Symptoms

After creating a new group in an analysis, you find that you cannot update it by right-clicking of the created group.
Editing or renaming the existing group, the changes should be saved and reflected, but no updates on existing group.

This symptom is reproducible with "Sample Sales Lite".

1. Create an analysis as following:
     Selected Columns >
       "Products"."Brand"
       "Base Facts"."Revenue"

2. Move to "Results" tab, and then click "New Group" icon.

3. Enter "Brand2" in "Display Label", and select "BizTech" and "FunPod" values.

4. Click "OK" button, and then you can see the 4th row with Brand name. "Brand2" was added as following:

5. Select cell:"Brand2" and right-click it, then select "Edit Group..." option.

6. Remove "FunPod" value from right "Selected" pane and click OK button.

7. You'll find no change in this analysis (Revenue of "Brand2" is "4,000,000"). And right-click "Brand2" again to check, you'll find "FunPod" value is still there.
