I also have this problem (have 8.0.0.473) not just bold but also underlining, 
italics and so on.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Probable Bug - Bolding Notes in Event Screen



Someone else may have noticed this bug, but I have seen no email regarding it.



When documenting a census event, I transcribe the census record in the Notes 
Field.  I typically start by pasting the "text" tab contents into each persons 
in a census record.  Then I Then I highlight the person whose Legacy Record I 
am working in.  The problem is that when I first Bold the name of the head of 
household and save the Event, instead of Bolding the first name, the system 
puts a /b in front of the name.  After the name has been saved and I pull it up 
again, I can delete the /b and Bold the name and then it holds.



An example is below:



Text/Comments tab contains the transcribed Census Record for this household as 
follows:



Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 
children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother 
born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English; Elza V McGINNIS, 
grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, 
parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English.







When I copy the text (above) and paste it into the Census Event Notes field, 
for Eleanor McGinnis, I put in one blank line followed by "1) " just as Geoff 
explained in his Census Event DVD.  Then I delete the semi-colon after each 
person's information and replace it with a period.  Then I hit enter and type 
"2) " for the second person.  And so forth.  Before saving the record I Bold 
the first name, in this example Elenor McGinnis.  After saving the Census 
Event, when I reopen the census event it looks like this.



1) \bElenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, 
bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, 
mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English.

2) Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, 
born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write 
and speak English.



but it should read as follows:



1) Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, 
bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, 
mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English.

2) Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, 
born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write 
and speak English.



This seems to happen only when I paste the information into the note the first 
time.



Please see if you can replicate this error.



Thanks.



Dave
