Oh, maybe I misunderstood your previous message. I guess I was assuming that the same result happened as with v7 under which Legacy did lose data. OK, looks like this was fully addressed in v8 but has the one small glitch you mention but without losing data.

The only way data would be "lost" in Legacy 8 would be if the user edits the vital event notes to remove the Event Description: text of the description line(s) from those notes and then it would be their removal of that text not Legacy which deletes the data.
