Hi
I hope your problem has been solved already since the post was made in 2011. Here I am in 2015 and I was having the same problem. Eventually I found a solution that I thought I'd like to share in case it might be helpful to other people.
The default setting in "grouping" under "common module settings" is "Separate groups." I change it to "Visible groups" and that fixed the problem.
HELP! I am having the same issue, but I think it is because faculty are accidentally hitting the group toggle icon from the main page, not going int the common module settings as shown above. This is creating havoc!
I have Moodle 2.8 with the Essential theme. Anyone else seeing this? I have not noticed this to be an issue in previous versions and/or other themes.
Hello,
Turns out my problem is an issue with the Essential theme. See https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=319657 for more info.
