Issue:
When doing SHIFT+<GROUP_NR>, the currently selected units get added to the group <GROUP_NR>, redefining the group. For example if you press 1 to select group 1, and then press SHIFT+2, all units from group 1 get added to group 2, and group 1 becomes empty. Thus, both groups get redefined. In previous AoE2 versions, SHIFT+<GROUP_NR> only added the group to the selection of units and did not redefine groups.
The previous way of group selection allows to efficiently control an army composed of different groups. In my opinion, the new way is useless, in previous versions, you can also quickly merge (redefine) groups by selecting two groups (2 commands: 1 and SHIFT+2) and defining a new group (+1 command: CTRL+2), vs now selecting one group (1 command: “1”) and appending it to another (+1 command: SHIFT+2).
