Public bug reported:

I've tested this in Mahara 15.04, in 16.04 and the latest one (Nightly).

Here is a description of the bug and how to reproduce it:

1. I have a group with collections that have been submitted for assessment.
2. I delete that group without releasing the collections.
3. When I go back and check with each users that had submitted a collection, I 
can see that my collection is still considered submitted... in a deleted group 
(cannot access that group anymore, normal, but the link remains indefinitely)
4.As the same user, I can still modify the pages of my collection without 
problems. The BIG problem comes when I wish to submit that collection again in 
another group. I can't because the system still thinks that it has been 
submitted in the deleted group. it gives an error message (access denied type 
of error).

This is a big problem for our institution because we ask our teachers to
delete their groups when they don't use them anymore. Some of them still
have collections submitted for evaluation. Students then come to
complain that they can't submit their collections anymore because of
this bug. A workaround would be to ask the student to make a copie of
their collections if this happens again.

I don't of anyone else came across this behavior... Thanks for you help
as always :)
