Group permissions taking preference over user

Just tested this a few times and I can totally reproduce it. Is it a new 'feature' in 6.5? Not from where I'm standing... Let's say you have a user named exampleuser. He's a member of a group n...

Hi N_i_c_k,

I just tested it on a PC using SMB and had a different result. It prioritizes the 'User' permission over the 'Group' permission. In MAC using AFP, I was able to duplicate the same behavior that you had. Let me check this with my colleagues to confirm if this is a bug or not.

Kind regards,

Hey Brian,

It's been 2 months during which other users have reported the same issue.
Still wondering if it's a bug?

  Hi N_i_c_k,
  
  Let me check this again with others who can probably assist you and get back to you as soon as possible.
  
  Thanks for your cooperation!

    Hey Brian,
    
    It's been more than 2 months since I reported the issue, during which you were checking with your colleagues if it's a bug, although you have reproduced it and other people have reproduced and reported it.
    Then again, it's been 10 days since I reminded you (cause I had not heard from you) and you went looking for someone to 'probably' assist.
    If you have been unable to find someone since May, you're looking at the wrong place, dude.
    
    How about you cut the crap, create a bugzilla ticket or a ticket in whatever bug tracker you are using and file the damn bug, so it would be fixed in an upcoming release?
    This is getting ridiculous!

Any news on whether or not this is officially a bug that will be fixed in some release? I have had to work around this with AFP, and an eventual fix would be nice.
