Elizabeth,
I'm one of them.
Say I'm entering a Source that is an Index rather than a transcription -
like South Australian Birth, Death or Marriage Indexes on FindMyPast.
I find the entry on FindMyPast and I copy the whole entry and then names
and dates and locations that I require either for data entry or to
complete my Source.
Then I start entering the data in Legacy. I set up the Source Clipboard
putting the whole entry in the Source Detail text and making up the
Source Detail with a combination of some of what I've copied and boiler
text I have previously saved in the M8 clipboard which shows in a
different column.
Then I enter the data again just pasting the relevant dates and names
from the M8 clipboard and source it all with the Source Clipboard that
I've set up.
So I only have to look at my source on FindMyPast once rather than go to
and fro - and the typing I need to do on data entry is minimal to none.
The M8 clipboard sits where you put it and on top of other windows so is
easily accessible - or when you're not using it you can minimise it to
Taskbar or System Tray.

I have Windows 10 and find this problem occurs intermittently with a
number of programs/apps including Outlook, so for me it is not just a
Legacy problem.
To the lady who talked about using M8 Free Clipboard: would you mind
explaining in more detail how you use the program for sourcing. I
thought my system was working well, but now realize that I could do a
lot better if I tried the clipboard.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

I recall that annoyance with resizing the Legacy window as having been
around since at least Legacy version 7. I typically use a split screen
mode with Legacy taking up ½ and a browser window on the other half.
But whenever I have to resize the Legacy window, it takes several
mouse attempts with it just springing back to its original size. In
other words, the resizing attempt does not stick until the 3^rd or
4^th attempt. Certainly not life threatening but merely annoying.
Legacy is the only application that exhibits this behavior. It has
nothing to do with Windows 10.

I've noticed when resizing Legacy with the mouse on the edge if I hold
the mouse button down after I stop sliding up or down it jumps back to
the original size. I have to release the button as soon as I stop
sliding the mouse.
I just checked my laptop and it resizes OK. I can resize and hold the
button and it stays there. Both are Win 10.
The desktop computer resizes other programs fine, Only Legacy exhibits
this problem.

Under Windows 10, when ones tries to go to a smaller window, the
process is not fluid as it is with other programs.
There is a time delay and the passage from one level to the other goes
by step.
It is the same thing with both v8 and v9.
There seems to be a sort of incompatibility between Windows 10 and Legacy.
Am I the only one to see this problem?
