A reason to not upgrade if you have not yet. Programmers and "experts" may find the codes useful rather than distracting, but ordinary users do not, which is why word processing programs do not, for instance.

The consensus was that the codes should be shown rather than their effect, except in reports where the effects are displayed. This resulted in a change in the way Legacy behaves. When viewing an event in the list of a person's events, the codes and not their effects will be shown. In other words when you have the person open for edit, if their are codes in the notes for the event these codes will appear in the Desc/Place/Notes section of the list. Before this most recent update the notes would appear in bold. This change in Legacy behaviour may be what you are seeing.
