Description
When editing a user, it's not visible any more in the dropdown list in which groups the user is. With only a few groups it's not a big deal, but with dozens of groups it's somehow confusing - and the list above the dropdown does not help there.
It's somehow a regression since NC28, but maybe the new design can be improved.

Start from the user-editing view and the group-membership dropdown shown in the issue screenshot. Compare its current behavior with the NC28 behavior, then verify that a user's memberships are visible in the dropdown while editing and that the surrounding group list remains useful.
