    Let \(G\) be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field \(k\). The aim of this paper is to present a method to find triples \((G,M,H)\) with the following three properties: Property 1: \(G\) is simple and \(k\) has characteristic 2. Property 2: \(H\) and \(M\) are closed reductive subgroups of \(G\) such that \(H<M<G\), and \((G,M)\) is a reductive pair. Property 3: \(H\) is \(G\)-completely reducible, but not \(M\)-completely reducible. A new example of such a triple in \(G=E_7\) is presented. Applications to a rationality problem and a problem concerning conjugacy classes are given.
