Sneak attacks and alchemist bombs?
Should they work together or it is a bug, that they do not work?

Throw Splash Weapon
A splash weapon is a ranged weapon that breaks on impact, splashing or scattering its contents over its target and nearby creatures or objects. To attack with a splash weapon, make a ranged touch attack against the target. Thrown splash weapons require no weapon proficiency, so you don’t take the –4 nonproficiency penalty. A hit deals direct hit damage to the target, and splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet of the target. If the target is Large or larger, you choose one of its squares and the splash damage affects creatures within 5 feet of that square. Splash weapons cannot deal precision-based damage (such as the damage from the rogue’s sneak attack class feature).[/u]

Sneak attack on bombs should work if the conditions for sneak attacking are met.

I used Trickster/Grenadier, sneak attacks did not apply to bomb attacks, but did for the bow in equal circumstances, so basically, that's a bug
