My own testing does show that with Build 364, the FS arrow drawing may not be getting triggered coming from PV back to FV as it should.
Please be aware that the developers made some specific design choices to allow Legacy to draw windows faster, and they are tweaking this all the time to give you the best possible performance.
The PP Alerts and the FS arrows are drawn after the basic text of FV or PV are drawn. Those steps take some time to do a lookup. On an older PC or one that has a lot of other activity going on, you can actually see these delays. In fact, the navigation to another person takes priority over finishing the display in FV.
But it does appear that new to Build 364, based on what I can easily test right now..., there is a problem.
thanks,
john.

Paul,
Yes I think there is a problem here, hopefully Brian can verify this.
>>I can see the arrows on the husband, wife, and parents (as your graphic illustrated) if I start family view with one of the other's children's views set, and I then change the view to scrolling list. I can navigate up and down the generations and the arrows continue to display.
This is what I had done previously.
>>Â Similarly, if I exit Legacy with the children's list set to scrolling list (making it my default view) when I restart Legacy in family view the arrows don't appear.
This just happened to me as well, with option 1.8 checked, Â when I first opened the sample file to follow what you said. So there is a BUG.
My screenshot was from changing the children's view on the fly.

- I can see the arrows on the husband, wife, and parents (as your graphic illustrated) if I start family view with one of the other's children's views set, and I then change the view to scrolling list. I can navigate up and down the generations and the arrows continue to display.
- However, if I then leave family view (say go to pedigree view) and then return to family view, there are no arrows for husband, wife, parents. Similarly, if I exit Legacy with the children's list set to scrolling list (making it my default view) when I restart Legacy in family view the arrows don't appear.
- Was your screen print from the first scenario I described (changing children's view on the fly), or based on a permanently set children's view of scrolling list?

- Paul,
- They are showing up on the sample file for me.
- Do you have option 1.8 checked?
- Maybe you have a color combination that makes them hard to see. On my screen they are grey on a dark green and are a little hard to see.

- Brian,
- OK, I understand why they don't show up on the children's grid list. Actually though, I wasn't even looking at the kids, I was looking at husband, wife, and parents. There are no arrows anywhere on the family view screen when child scrolling list (grid) view is selected.
- I can always go to pedigree view for the parents and grandparents, I guess.

- This is by design. The Grid is like a spreadsheet display of data from the data base. There is no way to add extras like the arrow graphics for LFS links like we can in the children lines of family view.
- I do not see any arrows on the pop up children lists in pedigree view either. Yes they are on the people in the pedigree view but not on the grid lists in the pop up.
