WORKAROUND: Family Group Trees is a total mess.
The program switches between the two trees without warning and one can never tell where they are. Enter a person in Family Group Trees and it does not always appear in the Group Tree.
The solution is emotionally difficult, but very simple - Enter everyone as DECEASED. Problem solved. All trees agree.

I'm just another user, but have a couple of comments. Please be aware that Family Tree consists of three types of spaces. Your private space, family group spaces, and the general tree space. Your private space contains living people you have entered in Family Tree under just your account. A family group contains living people created in the group or copied into the group by the various members of the group. The general tree contains all deceased people.
By marking all the living people you have entered in your account or a family group as deceased, you have not improved anything. You have simply moved all your living people from a private area to the general public area where all the information about them in the tree is openly visible to the all Family Tree users.
This is a major violation of multiple privacy laws worldwide and probably a major violation of the FamilySearch terms of use (I'm not going to dig through those now). It is also major breach of trust with those living people whose information you are sharing with the world.
Overall it is a terrible idea and you need to mark all those living people as living immediately.
