Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Select multiple files for which you have the permission to change group membership then right click and select properties. Now select the "Permissions" tab. Group membership is not selectable and therefore not settable. You can accomplish one file at a time.

I can reproduce this bug. I am not sure if there is a reason for this design but I am happy to mark the bug complete and pass it along to a developer.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
