Issue Summary:

When altering a student group on a course's Groups page, that same group unexpectedly appears in the group filter for the next assignment. This consistently happens "only" under these 2 conditions: when both the course level Group Mode is set to Separate or Visible, and when the Assignment level Group Mode is also set to Separate or Visible.

Teacher Expectation:

A teacher who didn't select a "default grouping" in the assignment settings would expect "All Participants" to always be shown by default when visiting an assignment. Altering a student's group membership wouldn't mean the next step for the teacher is to grade that same group in the next assignment they are opening. A teacher would treat these two actions separately.
