anything. I'm simply stating a fact. I'm not stupid, apparently just
inarticulate, although I write for a living. I will repeat myself and
see if that makes it more understandable. When I click on a Source
under the Sources tab, in the Name List, where I know there is a File
ID# attached, sometimes the File ID# shows itself and sometimes it does
not. You're right, there is no File ID # 'field' on the name list.
However if I, or you, click on a Source under the Sources tab, a summary
of it will show in the free space under the Sources List. i.e. name of
the Source, Detail Information and File ID# is there is such a thing.
It's not about lack of space. The File ID# is simply erratic about
showing up or not showing up, when I know there is a File ID# there that
could be showing up.
Ah! Light dawns! Now I understand! As I surmised, the area below the
source list that purports to contain the source citation as it would
appear on a report(?) is just not large enough in all cases to contain
the citation detail. In some cases, the File ID # appears and in others,
it doesn't. A correction would be to add the ability to scroll the
details when it overflows the assigned space. Try reporting it as a bug
just like that to Millennia.
