I have been doing some cleaning up of my database after running the
Report "Potential Problems" using v6.0.0.66, 26 Sep 05 build.

After the report is generated, I then try to fix problems with dates
of people that were born after a parents death date as an example. 
You have options to Edit:

A. Individual
B. Marriage
C. Children
D. Parents (one at a time)
E. Mark as Not a Problem

In my example, if a child was born after the death of a parent, I find
myself getting completely out of the potential problems list and back
to a family view, so I can see all the dates of the parents and
children to determine what is really wrong and how to fix the errors.

This leads me to the following Wish:
1.  I would like to have FULL Tagging available in the Potential
Problems list so I can tag some or all of the problem people and then
be able to use normal editing, search, etc. capabilities in Legacy.

2.  I would also like to be able to select multiple people in the
"Problems List" and tag them with a specific Tag # so I can correct
the tagged records in normal Legacy search & editing (This is probably
a subset of 1 above).

My only solution now is to create a PDF or TXT file of the Potential
Problems list and then have two applications open at the same time and
then worry about updating who I have fixed in BOTH Legacy and the TXT
file (cannot update/change the PDF file as I edit a Legacy record, so
I don't find it very useful).

I have over 30,000 individuals in my DB.  The potentail problems list
is a few hundred pages, so it is very ackward to fix errors using the
current system.
