    The behavior is similar to grouping but not quite the same.  I have
grouping set to "Never".  If I enable it, then multiple windows of the
application just take up one spot on the task bar and that spot has a
little up arrow which displays a list of the other windows of that
application and allows you to choose one.
    That's no what's happening here.  Just as many spots on the taskbar
are consumed as there are windows open.  However, each separate window
of an application gets stuck next to the other windows of that
application, not in the same spot as is the case with grouping.
