you-know-what is (IMO) an Integration and/or Website issue, not SHARES.
My statement is NOT in defense of SHARES but rather trying to give credit(blame) where it is due.
For the record, this issue (along with many others), is NOT "how CO operated all these years" as many have suggested. This is another of thousands of Newnited issues that nothing to do with neither pmCO nor pmUA.
While it may indeed be SHARES doing this crap, it would be because the Newnited partition in SHARES is not configured the same as the pmCO one (both UA and CO "migrated" on 3/3). Any such configuration change (intentional or not) is an integration issue that should've been noticed in testing pre 3/3.
SHARES on its own does not randomly re-assign seats. If it did, we'd be seeing the same complaints in the US forum.
Being a TPF Programmer, and my personal opinion of Jeffy, I wouldn't be surprised if there are specific SHARES functions being "skipped" in an effort to save on mainframe CPU charges
