Changing settings causes the gadget to display all users and ignore the group setting
If you have a gadget set to show work for GroupA grouped by Project, and then change this to GroupB, then when you view the gadget the heading shows that it is for all users, and the data is for all users (but it should be for GroupB only)
If you go back in and edit the gadget then you can see the the 'All Users' option is not ticked and the correct group is assigned, so the problem is not with the settings being saved incorrectly.
This behaviour happens regardless of whether you add GroupB before removing GroupA, or after removing GroupA - which might be significant for debugging because my initial suspicion was that when you removed GroupA the gadget might automatically be turning All Users on but just not updating the UI - but this is not the case.
There is a workaround that you can edit the gadget and click "All Users" twice to toggle it on and then back off again, and then when you save those setting the gadget shows the correct group.

reporter Related to this, if you add a new gadget and set the project then the gadget shows only data for you. You need to go back into the settings, open up the user dropdown and then click save (without selecting any user) to get around this.

Thanks for the workaround :)
Same issue when you try to only indicate one user (instead of a group)

Updated title because I've discovered that if you change the Group By field then it also displays all users, even with the Group assigned.
I haven't tested it with other settings but likely the same problem applies for them also.
