I'll second this... for the umteenth time. And Elizabeth has described the
problem more succinctly than I appear to have able to do in the
past. Would really like to see this fixed, so that "swapping" in this
situation won't change list of ancestors (dropping one) in the relationship
chart. I first noticed and reported this in December, 2003.

Legacy's relationship calculator problem shows up when the common ancestor
has one or two marriages BETWEEN the marriages that produced the
descendants for the relationship calculation. Order of spouses in the
spouse list is the critical factor, not the dates of the marriage.
Relationship calculation was discussed on the Legacy list in Mary 2004 and
Sid sent me a copy of his real file. Sid's ancestor was married three
times. Sid and another researcher are descendants of the first and third
marriages entered into Legacy with dates. The relationship calculator
loses one of the ancestors on _one_ side when the relationship chart is
swapped.
In real life, Sid and the researcher-cousin are related the same way
regardless of how many times their common ancestor was married or the
order of those marriages.
