As this problem has been verified and reported to the programmers, I've a question. I know the programmers are busy trying to get v6 finished and released...grin.
Sherry, would the programmers be interested if users began cataloging and reporting, in detail, where these hot spots exist? Would that make their job easier?
Jon, Jay, Bob et al,
I have received a response from the programmers, and the answer was that simple that even I had overlooked this. Although I can sympathise with you that if you click on some (what seems like) background space, you would not expect to see some erratic behaviour, naturally thinking this to be a bug of some description.
In this case, there is a bigger picture that must be looked at. Some of you may be aware of the internationalisation project that is currently in progress, and it is this effect that you are seeing coming through in Legacy. Before when Legacy was available in English only, the string of words ("This Individual Never Married") that sit next to the checkbox, you could put your mouse just over these words or the checkbox, and it would check. Now you notice that is mysteriously being checked "near" the Private checkbox, and this is because this same string in other languages could take up more room that what is displayed in English, and Legacy is accommodating for this internationalisation.
As for the other topic of hot spots appearing in Legacy, these have been introduced gradually over Legacy's development. You can left click to the left of the Husband and rotate through his wives, and likewise, left clicking to the right of the wife and rotate through her husbands. Left-click in between the husband and wife and rotate through the siblings of the highlighted individual.
You can also right click certain areas to reveal either a context menu (if you click on some background), or over some labels for quick dates/locations (memorises last 10 dates/locations), or to even change labels.
Hope this helps take some of the mystery out of the confusion.
