When I first open Legacy the pop-up boxes are 'Squished as described by
others. If I click on the Pedigree View and then return to the Family

I suspect one of those .usr files has become contaminated.

Oh dear – no it was not all right. The problem returned. You have to keep
fiddling with it, maximising and minimising to get it right. How frustrating.

Evert, I can't see how it has anything to do with screen resolution unless 1680

Ditto.
My small laptop 14, I never use that setting. I turned on all the

fine to me.

If I understand you correctly insofar as what you want to do, you should
go to the Help screen and search on Event, Clipboard. Scroll down a

Add the new parents as unlinked individual, then add spouse, finally to that
