How is the "No Grouping" option different from just not selecting any
grouping options?

Okay, I did some changes again to this screen and this should be
reflected in rev. 792855. I have removed the No Grouping checkbox and
changed the screen default behavior to No Grouping whenever user
browse to this screen. User now again have the ability to select any
grouping method of his choice and results are displayed on the basis
of grouping as desired.
To see the results without grouping, the user have to clear all of the
selected grouping methods.

That sounds pretty complicated. For an end-user wouldn't this result
in confusing and unexpected behavior? In other words, if they
unselected all of the check boxes wouldn't they expect to see nothing?
If the side effect is that coming to the screen results in only the
top form showing, I'd say that's fine (yes, there is an issue with
checkboxes since you can't tell if the user explicitly unchecked the
box).
Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

Initially the default behavior of the Picking screen was to group
orders by shipping method and user does not have any choice to select
any other grouping method. With the introduction of additional
grouping methods like grouping by Warehouse Area and Number of Order
Items, I tried to keep the same behavior of the screen, that is if
user does not select any option then system will still show the
grouping based on shipping method. The Group by Shipping Method
checkbox will be checked automatically on Submit in this case.
The reason of adding explicitly an option No Grouping on this screen
is that it will serve following purpose:
1. The default behavior of the screen will be preserved. If user does
not select any option it still defaults to shipping method.
2. User can select No Grouping explicitly.
3. Any selection made by the user other than No Grouping method will
be cleared by just clicking on No Grouping checkbox. Similarly if No
Grouping was selected, it will be cleared if user try to select any
other grouping method (Shipping Method, Warehouse Area and Number of
Order Items). This part is not implemented yet but the idea is to keep
this something like select all checkbox on multi form while making it
explicitly clear to the user that he can also go with No Grouping.
Also in future this screen can be extended to add few more grouping
methods so the way it is done would work nicely, IMO.
