Fabio,
I got your post as critisizing the behaviour rather than a question. The things you mark as 'very bad' are good from my POV. Grids represent a good model of hierarchic containment. I know and utilize their behaviour in that way for years and now in a way you ask when it'd be changed. If that changes it'd effect my existing investment and then I'd be the one querying the new behaviour (but my general tendency is to think 'if they did it there is a good reason to do so' and develop my own workarounds as necessary).
Grids in VFP are very different than those grids existing in other languages and activex. VFP grids lack many features they present, plus behaviour is different. OTOH when I drive them with data VFP shows why the difference.
Till VFP, browse was maybe the most powerfull command of the language. Then came the grid replacing browse to a point and I still think grids are maybe the most powerfull control of the language. I simply do not expect it to behave like rest of the controls in that it's also kind of control that virtually can hold multiple instances of all controls except a few like form,formset,_screen.
Anyway if you have a specific question I at least try to answer. But if you say who thought grid behaviour is somewhat mentally disabled I stand there to defend the team (and actually they don't need to be defended against such propositions).
