    1. [FTM-TECH] Falling Leaves
    2. John Donaldson via
    3. I have notice recently whilst in the tree view that the shaky leaves attached to people are becoming dislodged and falling to the bottom of the screen. I have tried to reattach them by selecting them with the mouse and then dragging them back to the individuals involved. I have had some problems with this technique as if I accidentally reattach them to the wrong person the hints do not work correctly. This is very annoying and composting does not seem to fix it. Has anyone seen this issue? I cannot find anyting on the issie in the Companion Guild or the support pages. John D

    3. John, I'm not sure whether this is related to your observation or not but for years I've advocated the shaky leaves be color coded. Perhaps what you are observing is an implementation of that suggested enhancement. I've advocated that when the leaves represent both source and amt tree search results, the leaf be green. When the leaf displays only source hints, they would be colored red and when they display only amt hints, they would be colored yellow. That provides the user with a useful method of identifying the type of hints found. Of course, the falling leaves could be the culmination of the process where the hints are displayed and as the user merges or reviews the hints the leaves change color and when all hints have been reviewed and there are no more hints, the leaves would then fall to the bottom of the screen or window. This would let you use the Tools, Compost option to use them as mulch for nourishing the Family Tree. Sorry, I can't be of more help.
