Display Suite does not work well with Fieldgroups [#1588750]

This is an issue that's been there for a while:
When using multiple-column formats for managing form layouts, fieldgroup information is lost.

Scenario 1:
Take for Example:
I have 2 fields: lastname and firstname; and I am using 2-column layout.
Assume that both fields are contained within a fieldgroup fieldset.
Once I drag any field to "Left" or "Right" position - then the fieldset dissapears.

This also happens for all other fieldgroups including: vertical tabs, horzontal tabs, accordion tabs, etc.
So more or less - it becomes a choice of either using Fieldgroups of Display Suite - you either can group fields or you can position them - but not both.

I believe this is the ONLY really 1 item that's lacking in Display Suite at the moment - once it's there DS is perfect to go!

THanks for all the work, Swentel.
Hope my issue gets attention soon :-)

Regards

Zuuperman or Stalski, mind looking at this? Commit to 7.x-2.x branch of DS if you find it :)

Hi Kristoff!
I can see you just committed changes to 7.x.2.x-dev Display Suite today (May 19, 2012).
Please does it include the above changes (I was thinking of updating)?

This is not a display suite issue, but fieldgroups, see #1541272: Format settings not saved

Sorry Kristoff - this looks like a different issue from #1541272.

The issue I am referreing to here is that fields inside a fieldgroup cannot be layed out with Drupal suite columns.

For example, I have a vertical tab (created with fieldgroups) containing 2 fields:
LastName (text field)
FirstName (text field)

Both fields save well using the Fieldgroup module.
But now I want the 2 fields to be layed out using Display Suite 2-column format (1 field on the left and 1 on the right).

When I change the Orientation of the LastName field to left for instance, Display Suite moves it out of the Vertical tab. And if I change the Orientation of the entire Vertical tab (to left for eg), then ALL THE FIELDS in that vertical tab get moved to the left column.

What I want to do is to have the 2 fields still contained within the vertical tab - but 1 on the left column and the other on the right column.

In HTML terms, fieldgroups should be able to span Display Suite columns

For another example, please take a look @ the "Edit Issue Settings" fieldset you use on drupal.org when replying to comments. That fieldset has fields side by side to each other (and still contained within the fieldset). How was that done? Can it be done using Fieldgroup module and DIsplay Suite module? Or was it hard-programmed?

Hope my scenario is clearer now...
This seems drastically different from #1541272 above (sorry I reopened the issue - please feel free to close if you still feel it's still a duplicate of #1541272)

Thanks
