I have no problem. I only look at the person being compared, not the their spouses. If the spouse is different, then I select the down arrow to see who the other spouses are and then make them the "edit" person to see differences in what I have versus to other database.

Do you have your main database set to show a specific spouse for some people? Perhaps that is what is causing the problem in the Compare routine. Anyway, I will do some checking to try to find the problem.
