AskBug Theme for Anspress 4.x doesn’t allow you to set the homepage to a separate static page

From the Theme or from Settings -> Reading -> set static page to home page does not set home/front page to user selected page because of Askbug Theme. With Askbug theme applied, no matter what you change the front page to unless it recognizes it the page will load AnsPress Questions.  But if you select a different theme, you can change the front page to whatever you want.
