I've not heard of this internal 'combine/combine with' feature. Is it truly
there?
The OP made me think of how many similar locations I have and that sometimes I
don't type enough letters to get the correct one to display before I tab on to
the next field... and how maybe tabbing accidentally to the field and then
doing something (I know we all "do something" unintentional & don't notice it)
caused a similar location to display & subsequently be saved. I hadn't seen
any mention of what the new location is on the records in question. Just a
thought.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Event "location" somehow got changed
I have noticed that when editing locations that my current option
selections and version of Legacy V8 (the latest) has an automatic internal
“combine/combine with” feature that sometimes creates unexpected results.
I have not determined what particular set of matches causes this automatic
combine, but I am not using the conventional US 4 place location convention and
I do know that mismatched lat/long entries do not prevent combining. This
might be the cause for others to have unexpected event changes.

I made a mess of the new entry and edited it a few times as I found out more
about the location. I was also having some computer problems and Legacy
crashed a couple of times so I put it down to that.
