Bugs when using Excel 2013

I noted 2 bugs with Groupy 1.02 when using with Excel 2013

1. Sometimes when I have several Excel files grouped in tabs, when I'm typing into a cell, suddenly what I'm typing is not being entered into the foreground file but I realise moments later it was typed into a background file. This shift of focus happens randomly without any apparent pattern. It's dangerous because I could be overwriting content in another file since it's not visible to the user. Not sure if you can understand what I'm describing...?

2. When opening an Excel file attachment from an email, it will normally launch in Protected View. Now assuming I have several Excel files grouped together including one in Protected View. Now, when I click on "Enable Editing" to disable protected view, the result is an empty window for that particular file. I have a taken a video of this issue which I can send to Stardock if I can have the email address.

When several Excel files are grouped in tabs, typing into a cell is not entered into the active file, but instead into a background file. Cant find any pattern. Actually, even clicking a cell in the active file actually selects a cell or even a range in a background file.

Same here. This is one of the issues I reported in the very first post in this thread.

Could you please provide us with this video too. I used to have this but it was solved on the latest update for me.

BTW have you tried Neil suggestion on reply #62

I uninstalled Groupy using the Purge batch file, then reinstalled the new version v1.12.

I am still experiencing the same issues with Excel (protected view and typing into cells in background file) and Powerpoint (protected view).

I don't think a video will help you much. Firstly, the issue comes up randomly, so I need to have the video on constantly like a CCTV to capture the occurrence. Secondly, the issue just cannot be seen on video. Meaning, if I'm typing text on the keyboard into a cell in Excel and nothing appears on the cell, but instead the text is being typed into a cell in a background tab, on video, it just like nothing is happening.

Did you reboot after running purge?
