Because the (say Family View) screen is so chock-full of live links to so many data pieces and boxes, one needs to be very careful where one clicks on an almost-buried Legacy window, hence it would be easy to unwittingly make something "private".
I can't visualize a programming solution for this little dilemma, but perhaps there would be a better way....?? So it seems that it's a matter of being very careful about where one clicks when the Legacy window is mostly buried, or otherwise clicking it's icon on the taskbar instead.
But, rather related to this, when working half-screen the tabs are too wide, requiring sometimes having to scroll between the 5 available tabs. That would seem curable more easily with the use of either smaller tabs or tab fonts, and would bring a ray of sunshine if that were so. It's a wish-list thing, not a drive-me-nuts thing!

Juli,
Dave has tightened this up a bit, but with the language versions we're working on and the fact that some languages have a lot longer word for "private" than we do, a bit more space is reserved for the word in other languages.
Try clicking below or before the Private line, not right next to the word. I need to retrain myself too <rbg>
Thanks for using Legacy.

I adore Legacy. I think it's great. It's wonderful. Ultra superlatives all the way around.
But there is something that just drives me nuts. It's the "private" box at
the bottom of the individual screen. If you accidentally click just near it
but not inside the box itself, then you accidentally end up with people
coming up private and when you have a huge file of people it's impossible to
find the ones you have accidentally clicked private on who thus don't show
up when producing web pages. This drives me bonkers. If it could be fixed
so they are only "private" if you click in the box instead of near it, that
would be super.
