Description
This is to report that including brackets "(" and ")" in group names causes erratic behavior;
When creating groups named "Base Machines (Stage 0)" or "Base Machines (Stage 1)" cause the groups to show up collapsed and moved to the bottom when the VirtualBox Manager is (re)started (Windows).
Taking out the brackets immediately solved the problem. The VirtualBox Manager seems to have a problem with brackets in group names. Possibly other characters cause similary issues.
I am currently stuck at v4.3.12 due to issue (#13841), but I've seen this behavior up to v4.3.28 (inclusive).
