Dynamic Permissions - Default + GroupA + GroupB

Based on previous feedback from support, the user permissions is based on the union of group permissions, (for all the groups the user is a member).
I placed a user in GroupA with specific permissions for one table. So, in effect, I wanted him to get all the "default" permissions plus the additional permissions from GroupA. However, what he got was just the GroupA permissions. I will have many groups and do not want to make the "default" permissions inclusive of all the groups. Is there a way to give him "default" + GroupA permissions?
Thanks

Greg,
default permission group is for all users which permission group is not selected for.

You can create another group (D) and set up the same permissions as for default group. Then combine these groups as you want (A+D, B+D, etc.).

Most irritating
I have just found out the same thing.
Im my vocabulary, default is what you always have regardless. and then you can ad on something
I have 40 tables and 9 udergroups in addition to Default and Administrator
Now I have to maintain 2 lists with exactly same content. That is not optimal, and certaintly not in compliance with database thinking. A set of data shall be stored in only one place and only maintained there. 2 sets of same data is putting "Murphey" in the drivers seat.
This ought to be changed.
