Does anyone else see this problem with Legacy?

I suspect that this is due to a disk caching problem on my system, but it may 
also involve Legacy Family Tree. Maybe Legacy does not refresh its (MS Access) 
indexes often enough?



In my database, I have what I regard as a large file (13,500) though I see that 
some people have nearly half a million!



When I add a new person (either related to another, or using Add , as a new, 
unrelated person) and then move to another in the database, I sometimes want to 
return to the “added” person.

My method is to switch from Family view to Index view, and type in the Surname.

But more often than not, the “newly-added” person is not visible / not found.

To find that person again, I need to either go to the maximum RIN, or type in 
the person’s Given Name(s), (comma), Surname.



This has been the norm for over 6 months. And I use Legacy often.
I suspect it is a problem with data caching on the “hybrid” disk I have as C: 
and which is host to Legacy program and data. The Seagate disk is a SHDD (a 
standard magnetic HDD with a solid state cache). I also see a similar problem 
with file appearance/updating in Windows File Explorer (ie, an open folder 
view).
(Windows 10, 64-bit, v1903 latest etc.)

It is only a minor annoyance, and the work-around works OK for me.
