The limitation of split view vs. separate windows, is that you can only
open one detail view at a time. For instance you cannot compare two
individual's information or source pages. You can open separate
windows in that 'other program' with full functionality in each (but I
still prefer Legacy).
This is how errors in genealogy get propagated. Nobody changed the
