[Pmwiki-users] Sidebar disappears

As someone who has changed the default group on all PmWiki's that I run, I would say "No".

I think it should be noted in the documentation for changing the default group that this will happen, but I think that the default should be that it loads $Group.SideBar

I know this is not a democracy, and I can understand the perspective of the people who disagree with me, so I would not mind if it happens.

Personally, I would vote "Yes", since I just ran into the same (surprising) behavior.
