Yes, but for instance I've a problem with IB_CombBox embedded in a
grid. You can't type the value you want and have it correctly put in
the field, i.e. I have:
ItemValues:
M
C
Items:
Millesimo
Contatore

I insert a new record, type "c" or "C" in the ComboBox, the text
"Contatore" appears, as soon as I pass to the next field in the grid
the "M" appears instead! I have to drop down the ComboBox and select
it from the list to have the correct value inserted. Was not so bad in
the past, I was able to use the keyboard.
Btw, in the past I used to have as ItemValues the same as Items:
Millesimo
Contatore
since is a 1 char field, in the past it took the first letter of the
ItemValues and was fine, but does not work anymore.

Is it already in your private bugtracker? How can I know?
Do I have to spend time to provide you a sample just to know that you
are already aware of this problem?
That's why I asked for a "public" bug tracker.
Also a public list of "known bugs" would be fine, so efforts are not
duplicated/wasted.
Thanks a lot :)
