Source Detail Problems

[Sara]

1. Changes made in source details don't "stick". This is in Notes. After lots of experimenting I found the only way I could keep my change was to change something in Notes (I deleted a letter and immediately put it back). I don't know if it's happening elsewhere or not.
2. The Detail box doesn't stay at the size I want it - it keeps collapsing. I want to be able to see what I've written there. Again this may just be in Notes.

re#2...

Reunion is not remembering the height of the citations section in Edit Person / Events and Facts. This will be fixed in 10.0.1.

The height of the citations section does not change in the Edit Person / Name or Notes.

The width of the detail field is currently remembered.

re#1...

Still trying to duplicate this one. Stay tuned.

Actually it was the width to which I was referring - sorry I wasn't clearer but it isn't remembered. I have a Notes page for Census records so there may be several on a page. If I widen the detail field on one of them they all widen but if I go to Family View then later return to the Census Notes they've narrowed. This is true of other Notes pages also - this was just an example.

Re: Source Detail Problems

I see it now. Looks like the width of the detail field being forgotten is a problem in the Notes section of Edit Person.
Thx.

You said it much more succinctly than I...

Re: Source Detail Problems

I've had essentially the same problem for years. My "details" problem occurs in the Source Citations in Events. It's very sporadic, but quite frequently I'll find the details field empty, when I know I entered data. Primarily in B-D-bur-M, I note in details precisely what info I got in the source (because of course there are so many discrepancies in these areas). Whenever I find a problem, I have to go back to the source and check what info I got there and re-enter it. This is REALLY frustrating.
