Topic: Groups on the Quick Access Toolbar

I have an MDI app that uses multiple ribbons and QATs, each specific to a different type of document. As I transition between documents, I clear and recreate the QAT (using LoadCommandBars("docType")), then clear & rebuild the ribbon.

I've just noticed that if I add a group to the ribbon, it initially looks fine. However, if I close that document, then open another one of the same type, the group's dropdown contains controls from a different group, seemingly a random selection. The button text looks fine. I can't see a pattern to the group that the controls come from.

I can't reproduce this in a sample, but then I can't find a sample with multiple ribbons & QATs.

I tried reversing some of my logic so that I clear/restore the ribbon before the QAT, and that seems to work. Is the solution that simple? If so, I'd like to understand more about why that is the case, since I honestly don't recall whether I had other factors to consider when I laid out the code they way it is now.
