Yes that works for me as well.

What didn't work for me was using the + sign to add a new tab. After my earlier post, I reset and then remade the group. Now the + also works as shown in the video. So all is good on this front. Thanks.

The issue with the window resizing (when the group is maximized before adding tab) continues. 

We think we have found why you are having issue opening PP with errors.  You are likely using FireFox or Opera that has a 'Run' option as well as a 'Download'.  You appear to be using the former.  I would be almost sure that if you used the download option, then opened, it would work as expected without errors.  Please confirm.

I'm not using Firefox nor Opera.

I'm opening Powerpoint file attachments from Outlook (desktop) or opening the files on the network directly from Windows Explorer.

Hello,

I think I found a solution. At the bottom of the page there is a suggestion. Please try it and let us know if it work for you. Try for both Excel and PPoint too please.

I can't reproduce this issue. Please take make a video screen grab to let us view and understand your problem. Thanks

I still cannot reproduce the issue:

But I will log it.  For the time being, and this should work for you, download / 'save as' the file instead of running it directly from the mail client or editing your Trust Center settings to avoid it alltogether:

Tried for both Excel & Powerpoint. No difference.

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

Thanks for reporting back.  

Here is another issue with Groupy and Excel which took me more than one week of trying different things to narrow down to Groupy being the culprit.

Over week ago I noticed that all my macro-enabled Excel files which include VBA procedures in the File-Open routine (i.e., steps that fire and run as soon as you open a file) stopped working. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was causing the issue and naturally I was thinking it was an excel-related issue.  After many many tests and lots of research, I was able to figure out that it was a timing issue; meaning, excel was taking too long to open and therefore it was somehow not firing on the File-Open procedures and just going on to opening the file normally (not the desired result). Long, long story short, it was Groupy that was causing the problem. 

As one of the things to try to find a solution, I finally got to point of testing if Groupy is causing the problem and sure enough, when I turned off Groupy, all of my Excel files with the File-Open routines fired and ran properly.  I tested this at least a dozen times with several different files by turning Groupy on and off and the behavior was consistent: everything fine with Groupy off and the same problem over and over again with Groupy on.

I am not sure if there is a solution to this or not.  At this time, I have to give up on using Groupy (unfortunate since I like it if it works properly and it really helps my productivity).  I have had one other issue with Groupy around the fact that the Chrome browser will not stay in a group of browsers. I started another post about the Chrome issue a couple of months ago and while Groupy support has been responsive, I don't believe a real solution has been offered. These two specific issues are in addition to some of the other random strange behavior I see when Groupy is on such as Excel freezing quite often, flickering windows here or there, flickering taskbar from time to time, strange behavior when minimizing or maximizing windows or using "Windows + Arrow Keys" hotkeys to move windows around.  With Groupy off, none of this behavior exists.

Again, this is all unfortunate since the idea and some of the working features of Groupy are great, but it is way too buggy at this stage and I will have to live without it until a stable version is rolled out. 

If anyone has an solutions to some of the problems noted above, I would love to hear about them.

Thank you. 

If you change them to manually run (you trigger them), or delay them with 'Wait' or 'Sleep', does it work then?  I am not asking you to change them permenantly, I just want to know if they work to solve the problem it its a timing issue.

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.
