I mean the pedigree boxes themselves. Well drat! This really IS a bug because most of the page is taken up with empty boxes! Not at all the way it looks in the Help file. That photo shows a Pedigree screen that looks like the one in Legacy 7.5 - boxes that are merely as tall as the name. They must have stolen the photo from Legacy 7.5 - not at all fair. Too bad they couldn't make it REALLY like the Legacy 7.5 pedigree screen!
Since you seem to be one of the "in" crowd, why did they make the boxes so huge and then not allow the font size to be changed? The boxes are large enough to hold many lines of data even of a size large enough to read.
