Title:
  Deleting a group with collections submission does not really release
  them

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Released
Status in Mahara user manual:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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 and the teachers
  sometimes don't bother checking before. Note that this problem only
  affects collections and not pages.

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

  Melvin
