In development, the minefield are the two tiny listboxes in the expression builder - after a while, you can only click up and down; if you try to slide the bar, it will c005 or something equally bad, your work's gone, bye.

But the combos in the method editing windows... not that I've noticed. Member data, perhaps? I haven't used them precisely because of all the stories that I've read here about the need for periodic cleanups. What benefit they may bring seems to be far outweighed by the trouble. Seemed like a neat feature to be finally done right in VFP10, but we're relieved of new bugs now.
