Oh, well, perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "bug". But the fact remains that ComboBox didn't work as most programmers would expect with numeric values (and still doesn't, if the programmer doesn't know about .BoundTo!), and, in VFP 3, required complicated workarounds, as far as I remember. Mainly, having to use character instead of integer for primary and foreign keys.
