Steps to reproduce
  1. In the share settings of a folder, enter an e-mail address and click on "invite guest"
  2. In the "invite guest" window, add a group (It doesn't matter if the other fields are filled)
  3. Try to remove the group again, by clicking on the X next to the groups name
Expected behaviour

The group selection should just be removed.

Actual behaviour

The whole page freezes and only reloading can recover from that.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze from the share settings: enter an email, open the “invite guest” window, add a group, and click the X beside the group name. Trace the group-removal handler from that UI entry point; done means the group is removed without freezing the page, and the reproduction steps no longer fail.
