Well, I do not like the single click thing …
When in Family View if I want to highlight an individual to then switch to the Pedigree View based on that individual, I now end up opening and having to close that individual’s edit window before switching to the intended Pedigree View … Perhaps I’m old school but, new school isn’t always better school … Also, right clicking isn’t consistent … Sometimes you get the pop-up menu, sometimes the edit window … My $0.02 … C.G.

Lisle [mailto:leg...@tqsi.com] Sent: December 19, 2013 04:44 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 - Highlighted colour Marion, Let me comment on 2 side items you mention ... 1/ Every new build of Legacy right now is fixing many issues. You may see a focus in the announcements on a particular issue, but right now, a lots of little tweaks are coming in as a response to issues raised on this list and elsewhere. Maybe hold back a day to make sure there are no humongous problems, but best to move forward. We have seen people reporting on issues this week on the initial L8 build as they never updated. --> When you report an issue with Legacy on this list, please try to announce what version of Legacy yo are reporting again, what build, what Windows OS you are using. It turns out that some of the folks with problems updating the GeoDB had the problem because they were using a Windows 7 32 bit OS. And that made a difference. 2/ I was one of the loudest grumblers on the Test team when the programmers had to take out double click navigation. By now, my fingers have learned single click and actually now prefer it. Double-click navigation has always been somewhat un-reliable in Legacy but with the new L8 Family View it was completely unusable. Sigh... So, no, I do not think it can, or should, come back. john.

There is no highlight by using and of the columns view or the best fit view but I like the information on the grid view. Also you cannot scroll with the mouse on this view unless you go to the Mother, then the Father, then back to the Mother - and then the mouse scroll works (I realise I can use the scroll bar on the right hand side but the mouse is an automation reaction!) If I go to the two, three or best fit view and right click on a child the highlight colour is bright blue and the writing underneath is still red. I set the colours for text males as blue and females as red with Unknown as black - I assume this would not have anything to do with it At the moment I am on .364 - the later build looked as though it was mainly concerning the geo basis but I can try that build if you think it will make any difference. Also the highlight is still there on the Potential Problems screen as well. (As an aside I also miss the two click - it is probably force of habit but everything on my computer has my brain trained to double click to open) to my mind it is a time saving issue more than anything else (albeit will be argued by some that the time taken to do two clicks to edit someone from the child list is minimal it is obvious that others are also finding it frustrating. Do you think that it could ever be brought back?
