I have seen this happen in my file too - and I am 95% sure I reported it, but I might not have. (And when I say reported it - I mean to support.) I have a woman who had some kids illigit - and I don't know the father. Then she married and had a few more. (just to make it more complicated, he was married before and had kids before too.... but that doesn't affect this.) He died, and then a number of years later, she had another child - and the only place a father is mentioned, it is the long-deceased husband.... so it appears that he was illigit too.
I don't use people named unknown - I just let the program put in unknown. So I have the first children linked to mom, with an auto-generated unknown father. Then the next children linked to her and her husband The last child linked to mom, with a different auto-generated unknown father. When viewing the family with the mom and either of the unknown fathers, the children of the other unknown father are not shown. They all show up correctly when viewing the family of the mom and her husband. As I only have this situation once in my own files, and it is a family I am working with a lot, I just remember the little bug. To me it is more of an annoyance than anything, as I find the show 1/2 kids as a huge bonus I had never expected or had in any other program i have used. These people were entered a LONG time ago, so I don't remember the order I used to enter them or link them - but I'm not sure that matters.
