Hi. I read the thread. 

Probably this fiddle will be helpful for testing:

I recently encountered a problem:
Why Window-specific functions do not allow DISTINCT to be used within the 
function argument list?

sum( DISTINCT order_cost ) OVER ( PARTITION BY invoice_id ORDER BY invoice_id, 
group_id RANGE unbound preceeding and unbound following )

behavior is quite deterministic:

ORDER BY will create peers in partition
DISTINCT will get only one peer

I  resolve  my problem via two subqueries, but it seems this logic may
be applied to window functions (did not check this for other functions thought)
