Multiple resources on a task increase the work?

Hello!
quite simple question, but tricky to solve, at least for me.
Create a task with Work = 40 h (=1 week for a person full time).
If you assign one resource 100%, you get 5 days as duration. Fine.

Now try adding a second one, putting both people at 50%: it is one person equivalent, so noting should change.
WRONG!! The duration increase.

Not satisfy? Then try with three people: the first at 10% the second at 20% and the third at 70%.
The duration is now 4 times the right one.
Of course the task is Type = Fixed work, so it should never change...

What is happening? Please help me, I'm going crazy...

It's an old bug. You need delete the resources, reset the work and duration and enter the resources all at once

ok, thanks! Now it works better but not yet perfect!
It worked fine with 2 people, but still it have some problems with 3 people... (+66% in duration; before it was +300%!).

Something more to improve it?

Thanks anyway!
