Question - IDE Groups and their assets change and duplicate upon opening a project back up.

I like to keep my assets organized. But inside the Objects group it won't stay organized. Sometimes when opening the project there will be a duplicate group with all the assets duplicated in there. I have to restart in hopes that will fix it. If I move a group to be inside another, often it wont stick upon reopening the project. This has been a bug since 2.3 beta that I've reported but it doesn't seem like the devs have addressed it. Does anyone have any tricks I can use to remedy this situation. It feels like it's going to corrupt my project down the line and I don't feel comfortable working with gm currently.

Previously when having the issue, renaming the groups seemed to fix it. but that no longer seems to be the case.

I appear to have the same problem, even the number of duplications doesn't appear to be predictable - sometimes I have 2 folders sometimes 5; I happens on every load of my game. At the moment I am using git heavily just in case, but if I find a solution will post here.

Ohhhh this might be it in the latest update!
"Asset Browser: Duplicate groups appear on reloading project if group was moved and has an "asset type" name (e.g., the group is called "Sprites")"
