Group Auto-tabbing (disabled)

Ver 1.3.7 on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
appsfile is set as /home/tim/.fluxbox/apps

I find that auto-group tabbing no longer works.
(I can manually group).

The following "recipe" in appsfile has been used for some time and
was succesfully executed in the past.

[group]  (workspace=[current])
  [app] (name=libreoffice)
[end]

But no longer has the effect
  IOWS, after opening the first document of libreoffice, subsequent
  windows are not grouped in the same tab
  
my appsfile is very simple
The following recipe:
[app] (name=gmrun)
  [Position]	(UPPERLEFT)	{0 0}
    [Layer]	{2}
[end]
Does work, I.E. changing the position symbol has the desired effect.

I added another recipe, just to test:
[group]  (workspace=[current])
  [app] (name=firefox)
  [app] (name=dillo)
[end]
Auto grouping does not work for firefox/dillo either.

the following line is in init:
session.appsFile:	/home/tim/.fluxbox/apps

TIA
