No research notes are displayed though they were imported correctly - the icon at the Family view is colored and I can see them in a GEDCOM export. If I open the Notes window for an individual the General tab is focused but the content of Medical tab is shown.

[LegacyUG] Mouse scrolling in grids
Hello I finally got 8 to run and stumbled over a problem in the Index View and the children list in the Family View. In the Index View I can't scroll the list with the mouse wheel as long the search boxes RIN, Given or Surname have the focus (blinking cursor). In 7.5 I could just click into to the list and then scroll up and down with the wheel. What secret key combination or mouse gesture will let me use it in 8? In the Family View it's the same with the children list, I use the scrolling list feature. The mouse wheel simply doesn't work. Also a single click on a child opens its Family View, how can I change it to a double click? This single click behavior is quite confusing. 7.5 had the problem too, but it had a nice popup when hovering over a child, that helped a bit.

I would rather see a more comforting way to input coordinates. I spend the summer to give every of my 2400 places in my database a coordinate. The US places worked fine as expected, but for Europe ... I gave up and used the Internet. It would be nice to have a little bit of automatic conversion. In almost all cases you find coordinates like "39.913889, 116.391667" or "39° 54′ 50″ N, 116° 23′ 30″ E" or "54.1543°N 9.6781°E". That is nothing Regular Expressions can't handle, so just copy&paste or drag&drop coordinates into the Conversion Helper or already into the "Latitude and Longitude" section should be enough to convert them into Legacy's DDMMSS.xxx system.

Perhaps Legacy should not include only long and short names for a place, but also historical and romanized names - simply prepare Legacy for international use. For example Volgograd: it's actually ВолгограÌд, it's historical name is ЦариÌцын​, the romanized name is Volgograd. Perhaps alternative names could be used too, like for individuals, then the names Tsaritsyn and Stalingrad could be added. It would be beautiful to have the possibility to not just choose short location names in reports but also choose historical and add some alternative names in brackets.

[LegacyUG] Exporting Gedcom with Occupation
Hello I just realized that Legacy doesn't export occupations with the OCCU-tag instead it uses an EVEN-tag. Why? And how can I fix this? None of the various export options seem to have a proper occupation tag in the final GEDCOM file, despite it's selected in the GEDCOM Export Items. As a side note the TYPE-tag used in conjunction with EVEN is localized!!!

Yet I have two observations ... If I switch the view from scrolling grid to 3 columns and back, then scrolling works. If I start Legacy with Family View there is a second scrollbar half hidden behind the grids scrollbar. It seems fully functional, but doesn't do anything.

[LegacyUG] Date Prefixes capitalized
Hello I have a problem with the date prefixes (about, before, between etc.) where I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's supposed to be working that way now. Since build 497 dates with prefixes are always capitalized in the views, in the reports they're just fine. So instead of "about 2015", the user settings (option 5.7) are ignored and I get an "About 2015". If it is not a bug, where is the option to turn that off?
