I have been using Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 and been experimenting with sending transactions via the GUI. When I examined all my transactions the Lock Time was always the last block in the block chain at the time, as you would expect. However in one transaction the Lock Time was set to 77 blocks behind the current block height at the time. Can anybody shed some what happened with this transaction as I did everything via the GUI and there doesn't seem to be anyway to specify the Lock Time, let alone a value that is much less than the current block height? .... is this a bug?
