    3. Hi Allie That is the same message I posted about previously Some are saying they have received email alerts since then (I haven't) and when I phoned Ancestry they say the email alerts should still be working and they know there is a problem and are looking at it I suspect the left hand has no idea what the right hand has done and they have done away with email alerts, hence the wording in the message from March 2013 But all we can do is await the outcome of Ancestrys investigation I shall not be holding my breath whilst waiting Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 02/03/2014 21:55, Allie wrote: > Perhaps the following message will answer this question.

    3. I had missed the fact that you were "double" clicking on the left arrow by the child's name. When I double click on the left arrow next to the child's name, I am taken to the Person work area but not for the child but for the child's child i.e. the grandchild for the original parents. The child's child is the one in the same position in the list of children as the one you double clicked on. In other words The mini-nav accurately shows the pedigree for the grandchild. I think this is caused by the speed of the machine and the data base. The first click on the arrow switches to the child, the second click then switches to the grandchild in the same slot in the list.

I opened another file--created with earlier builds of 2014--and it acts the same way. Double clicking on a child's left-pointing arrow takes me to the person view with the mini-nav tree correct, but double-clicking on a child's name takes me there with the mini-nav tree incorrect for the children & spouse.

    3. I neglected to say that I'm running Windows 8.1 and FTM 2014 build 1260 which was the last update. One other thing is that I lost my original file due to a problem with my harddisk. I downloaded my AMT and recreated my file. I may not be observing the problem you describe because my file has been created within FTM 2014.

Some time in the last couple weeks I performed the update, but ran into a problem with the program not opening afterwards. I uninstalled it, reinstalled in from CD, and re-ran the update. That time it seemed to work without a problem. Today I started a new file for a cousin's line, entering everyone by hand. There are less than 20 individuals in this file. But while entering data, I noticed that the mini-tree at the top of the people, person view is completely screwed up--sometimes. I have Patrick selected, and his facts show up correctly at the bottom of the screen. However, he's unmarried, and a name (his own!) shows up in the spouse box in the mini-tree, with his brother's name in the child spot. If I click over to the tree view, he is selected correctly as a child in the child list in the family panel, with his father as the selected person in that view. I probably got over to the person view by double clicking Patrick in the child list. If I select Patrick up in the tree area in tree view, and then click over to the person view (or double click on him in the tree area), he has no spouse and no child--as it should be. Yes, I've compacted the file, and it doesn't change anything. And it behaves the same regardless of which child I choose, or who happens to be the parent selected. So it seems that double clicking on one of the children from the list takes you to the correct spot on the person tab, but the mini-tree doesn't get updated correctly. Their name seems to be inserted in the primary slot, but the spouse and child slots don't change. The parents do seem to update correctly. I have not checked it on any other file. Frankly, I can't tell you if this behavior existed before. Depending on what I'm doing, I move through my trees differently, so perhaps I've never hit this combination before. So if this issue came up earlier, and I just forgot that it's already been discussed, I apologize. It was just a little disturbing until I figured out what seems to cause it , so I can avoid the problem going forward.

    3. John and Daryl, I have to disagree. I like the way it works. It makes it easy to check info on each of the parents children without having to click back to the parents each time.  For instance, if my Thompson relative had 8 daughters and one of them married a Kistler, it could take me up to 15 clicks to find the right one, if it worked the way you think it should. The way it works now, it takes no more than 8.   Jay Thompson just an old genealogy nut too tough to crack. ________________________________ From: Daryl Rickards <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 1, 2014 7:54 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] FTM 2014 after update to version 22.0.0.1260 Agree - double click or leftmost column click on the child should work the same - looks like a bug fix here at some point in time Daryl from Oz -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Okerson Sent: Sunday, 2 March 2014 11:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] FTM 2014 after update to version 22.0.0.1260 > Yep the same thing is happening to my FTM2014 - very annoying But if you click in the leftmost column in the children's area, as I normally do, things work as they should.

    3. The same thing has been happening to me on FTM 2014.  I have contacted Ancestry.com twice regarding this problem.  Part of the difficulty is in just describing what's happening.  The program isn't following where you go.  The second session ended with Ancestry.com's supervisor insisting to her rep that my file was corrupted.  It is a very old file that I am bringing up to date and has all kinds of problems.  Plus Dell found a virus on the PC.  The virus is gone now, but I waited to see if the FTM 2012 would behave now.  It hasn't, but it isn't as bad - or maybe I have learned to compensate?? I am also running FTM 2014 on a Dell with 4 GB, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

I have Patrick selected, and his facts show up correctly at the bottom of the screen. However, he's unmarried, and a name (his own!) shows up in the spouse box in the mini-tree, with his brother's name in the child spot. If I click over to the tree view, he is selected correctly as a child in the child list in the family panel, with his father as the selected person in that view. I probably got over to the person view by double clicking Patrick in the child list. If I select Patrick up in the tree area in tree view, and then click over to the person view (or double click on him in the tree area), he has no spouse and no child--as it should be. Yes, I've compacted the file, and it doesn't change anything. And it behaves the same regardless of which child I choose, or who happens to be the parent selected. So it seems that double clicking on one of the children from the list takes you to the correct spot on the person tab, but the mini-tree doesn't get updated correctly. Their name seems to be inserted in the primary slot, but the spouse and child slots don't change. The parents do seem to update correctly. I have not checked it on any other file. Frankly, I can't tell you if this behavior existed before. Depending on what I'm doing, I move through my trees differently, so perhaps I've never hit this combination before. So if this issue came up earlier, and I just forgot that it's already been discussed, I apologize. It was just a little disturbing until I figured out what seems to cause it , so I can avoid the problem going forward.

    3. That's one of the more annoying idiosyncracies of FTM 2014. I reported it during beta but "it couldn't be reproduced". Report it again.

    3. I tried to follow your explanation of the "error" you see. I found that with a family in the center pane of People workspace, Tree view that single left clicking on a child in the bottom center pane would bring up that child's info in the rightmost column, but leave the parents unchanged in the upper center. Yes this is version 1260 here. John Okerson Lakeland, TN
