Hello,
 
This may be too difficult to replicate, but I'm pretty sure its a real bug.
 
(1) I have an inbox grid, filtered for certain items.
 
(2) I have parental context on
 
(3) I set a column filter, and now I see only those items that match the main filter and the column filter (non-blank, its a check mark field), and/or have parents that match the filters.
 
So far, so good.
 
(4) I click on the Parental Context button to turn off parental context.
 
Now there is only one entry in the grid, since there is only one entry that matches the column filter on its own, without a parent.
 
Great.
 
(5) Now I turn parental context button back on.
 
Nothing happens. I try to refresh. I can see the screen flash, and I think what is happening is that as the grid is reconstructed, the parental items are not being opened, but its too fast to see.
 
Still the same line on screen, and none of the others that match by context.
 
I check the grid properties. Parental Context is really on.
 
What should happen is that when I hit Parental Context everything should go back to (3). But instead it is stuck at (4).
 
The only way to restore it to (3) is to
  1. make sure parental context is on
  2. turn off the column filter
  3. open the grid all the way up (control-9)
  4. restore the column filter
I think what is happening is that when the routine for setting the parental context is called, it doesn't re-open the grid items that were closed when the parental context was turned off. So as a result, all that is displayed is the one item that wasn't a child item.
