I put a combo box into a grid. Since few rows will occur in the grid, and because I like the looks better, and now because the client requests it, I set Sparse to .F. in the column where the combo is. The problem is that the text in the current row disappears. If focus moves to another row, the text reappears. So I can never see what's in the combo for the current row.

If I set Sparse to .T., the problem goes away, and I can see the text again for the current row, and now the ugly FKs appear in the noncurrent rows, as expected.
