That's interesting, that way around it is possible to make it work!
Additionally, I noted you use 'run-or-raise-all-groups' as variable name,
which seems to work equally well as just 'all-groups'. 

Thanks for pointing this way out, I can very well live with this 'workaround'!

I wonder why it doen't work to default to 't' however?
