Groupy 2 Turned Off & Still Groups

I've got Groupy 2 turned off because of how erratic it is right now, but it's still grouping windows. This is not the version with the box ticked for beta versions but the latest version you get without it ticked.

How did you disable Groupy?

I am very stupid. I didn't actually enable the button to turn it off. I'm glad you asked that question so I had to look at it again!

A lot of the settings are like that though, kind of weird and backwards...   to turn something off you have a button turned "ON"

It does explain it in the text 

But we have changed this for the next update to make it clearer.

It does indeed explain it in the text. But at first glance it's counterintuitive, to me at least. I suppose it has a lot to do with how people think.

We have altered it in the 2.12 release to make it clearer.

It's kind of like City Bond Elections where you have to vote YES to not pass the bond!

It doesn’t matter what labeling you use, It’s still counterintuitive to turn a switch on to turn something off. You wouldn’t turn a light switch on to turn off the light!

Please consider fixing this setting so that it’s more intuitive. I don’t know of any other software that uses this type of switch scenario.

The Dev’s seem dead set on using this setting as is with labeling changes instead of fixing it.
