Description

When you have a group name like "Finance and Marketing Departments" and you create another group called "Finance and Marketing Departments Moderators". You will not be able to add users into the latter group if that user is already in the first group. This is caused by "duplicate key" error in the attempt to add the user, because the key length limitation is 32 chars.

This bug might probably be Mysql settings dependent.

Solution
Workaround is to change the name to be more distinguishing within the first 32 chars.
