Correct.

Let's stop here and clarify things a bit. When you type a group and
select it, one of two things happen:

1. RT knows if that group has been granted rights. If the group typed
in and selected has granted rights, it displays the tab with that
group. Note: there would have already been a tab with that group
loaded in the page. Thus, RT uses JS to display that tab.

or

2. RT knows that the group has not been granted any rights for this
queue and it uses the "Add Group" "tab" to grant rights for the
dynamically loaded group to the statically listed rights.

Correct.

 Is it somewhere else on

It is somewhere else on the screen after clicking save and the page
reloads. Its name is placed with the other custom groups that have
rights granted for this queue. The "Add Group" tab is now freed up to
allow additional dynamic groups to be granted rights.

However, you do not need to (re)select it, the page load already has
it selected as that was the group you were last granting rights to.
