Inherit Not Working As Anticipated

We have a main store theme, and different themes for different sets of categories. The products in each category are set to inherit, but they are inheriting the main store theme and not the theme of the category to which they are assigned. The help information seems to indicate that the products should be inheriting the category's theme. Can anybody tell me how to actually make this function properly?

It's working for me. Maybe there's some caching going on?? Try to launch the category from the admin side. There is a preview icon that you can click on from the Catalog browse pages.

What version are you using?

We are currently using the following version:
VERSION: 7.0.7.14481
It doesn't appear to be a caching problem. It acts the same whether I'm logged in or not, and if I'm in Internet Explorer or Chrome.
Any other suggestions of things I should check?

I tested on build 7.0.714481 with a category page, webpage, and product page. Changing the theme is working fine for me. If we a had a bug of this nature, I'm sure it would have been reported by now. Please check to see that the theme is applied correctly, and if it is different than the main theme. Also make sure that a customization is not interfering.

Okay, I think I'm narrowing this down. After much trial and error, I have discovered that if I change the Default Display Page for Category Display Page to something other than Category Grid (Deep Item Display), the inherit feature for the product works correctly. When Category Grid (Deep Item Display) is selected, the product does not inherit the category's theme. Said Category Grid (Deep Item Display) calls CategoryGridPage, which we had to modify in the past. This was because we were getting duplicate products listed in each category and the fix for this was to take out the empty listing as the first item in the drop down list box. When I FTP in to the site, I can see that our files were updated on 03/31/11 according to all the files dates. Except that CategoryGridPage has a date of 01/25/11. Is it possible that an update was made and CategoryGridPage.ascx was not updated and therefore is not quite compatible with the rest of the files?
At least I think I've found the problem file, but I'm not sure how to fix it or replace it.
