gradebook course total overrides by itself

i work at a school that upgraded to moodle 2.3 this past summer. has anyone experienced this problem in the gradebook?

the course total is overidden by itself every once in a while , even if instructor has not touched the course total category?  when we click Update, the override orange color appears to disappear, and then 1 week later it would re-appear, on its own

its hard to explain because i can't personally recreate this, but this past week more and more prof have come to us with this problem.  the instructor tells me that they grade from the course gradebook . im not a programmer so I'm not sure what else could be going on?   any ideas ?

I read somewhere in a post that there was problem saving if there are too many students on the page, and then you click update, but the problem I'm experiencing is with classes with 10 - 20 students. and there's still this problem.

i searched the forum for gradebook override problems, but havent seen any trackers about the course total column in particiular.

Yes we have a similar fault. but it may be something to do with Assessment manager or the course grade. We have scorms and quizzes and when these are marked or completed this automatically gives us a course total based on some weird figures we have yet to phathom. It somehow takes the score of teh test and then decides by itself that the course total should be pass merit or distinction. (the scale we placed on the course)

I also am hearing from faculty that
"the course total is overidden by itself every once in a while , even if instructor has not touched the course total category"  We can go in and manually take off the override and then it calculates correctly but they are sure they didn't click in the total area.

The tracker link below says all grades change, but in our case its not all grades, just some subcategories and some students grade totals.  And that tracker issues says that problem was fixed with 2.3+
We are running
Moodle 2.3.3+ (Build: 20121208)
