Combobox in a grid problem

Hi all,
I use VFP 9, in VFP 8 this problem didn't exist.
In earlier postings we determined that this behavior is a bug, but I want to
see if any one found a fix or a way to work around the problem. Here is the
problem

If you put a grid on a form (or on a page of a pageframe), and insert a
combobox control in one of the columns and change the CurrentControl
property to point to the ComboBox, the following will happen:

1- if the Combobox control style is set to 0 (dropdowncombo), the Combobox
will only show the first 8 characters of the field
2- if the Combobox control style is set to 2 (dropdownlist), it will show
the entire field.

However, in both instances, the control doesn't refresh when you click on it
and select an item. nothing appears in the combobox till after you move to
a different column or a different record.

My suggestion is to try it keeping this in mind:

the combobox point to a field in a related table.

Thank you,

Hutch Elassaad
