Answers.Text: It's strange, If I search for groups that are both Enabled and Disabled, the group appears in the list (it is enabled), and indicates it's a child of members, but not as a drop down below members. The group is there, I can search for it, it just doesn't show the drop down arrow for it's parent.

Title: Why does a Smart Group disappear when assigned a Parent
ThreadText: # Why does a Smart Group disappear when assigned a Parent
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-04-16)
  
  I'm running CiviCRM 4.7.6, and in attempt to associate an ACL with a Smart Group, I assigned my Smart Group a parent which is a static group. This seems to have worked, in that when I list the members of the static group, the members of the Smart Group are in the list, however now the Smart Group has disappeared from the list of groups.
  
  To summarize:
  
  1. Created Smart Group called "Current Members" that selects contacts based on their membership status
  2. Created static Group "Members"
  3. Assigned "Members" as the parent group for "Current Members"
  
  Now, Static Group "Members" includes all the contacts from Smart Group "Current Members" has disappeared from the list of Groups.
  
  Did I break some rule mixing Smart Groups and Static Groups, or is there some list of child groups I don't see?

  On the manage groups screen is there a triangle to the left of the word 'Members' that expands to show the child groups when you click on it? There should be.
