%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---

Mac OSX Mountain Lion. AMD Raedon 5800 1024Mb

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

Version 2.67a has error, Version 2.66 worked

- Short description of error ---

When attempting to add group nodes in the node editor the arrow and menu to the right is a small blank black box with no options in it whatsoever. Completely unable to add group nodes, including New Group options.

Have opened it on several .blend files including the default load .blend and have the same problem. Have also tried it on a different computer, also Mac OSX and still the same problem occurred. When I load the 2.66 version I have no problems.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Load default .blend, go into Node Editor, Shift + A, go down to Group. Should be completely blank.

%%%Lukas: 2.66 had a "Add new group" option, that disappeared.%%%

%%%It's been like that for a while in SVN builds after 2.66 release, you need to select a node and hit Ctrl+G to create a new group , it is also easier to edit groups created within groups without having to select them from a dropdown menu just hit Tab and you can edit the parent group or the child.%%%

%%%Oops, fixed this already in r57249, just forgot to close the report :)
Node Add menu now has a standard "Make Group" operator entry in the group submenu again.%%%

%%%@George: Thanks, that has added a group, although it opens in a different window and I can't get to the rest of the nodes outside the group now... confusing.

@Lukas-132: That is great news! When will r57249 be released for download? It is currently only on r57123m.%%%
