Re: [LegacyUG] Source Citation Glitch?
Kirsten, I don't think that your problem is the same as that described by Leo. I am aware of that bug (and find it very annoying), but it occurs only when a source is erroneously added twice, it also makes it more difficult to correct sourcing errors. As you say, in your case you are only adding the source once to each event, and it is this situation which I cannot replicate. I would hope that others may look at this so that we may determine whether it is my result, or yours, which is the most common. We are clearly doing something different!

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Citation Glitch?
Jenny, Your efforts confirm the results which I obtained. As I understand Kirsten's problem, she is saying that the source number for the individuals' names are the same, whilst those for the marriage is different. This only my interpretation though; Kirsten says that the source citation appears twice, for the name and marriage details, and as far as I can see this can only happen if they have different reference numbers.

I've rather lost the plot here! Where is the duplication of Source appearing? I have just done a Descendant Book Report for a married couple with the same (identical) Citation for the husband's name, wife's name and the marriage. On the Report those three items have the superscript 3 and the correct Citation appears as number 3 in the Source list, once only.

If the latter, my guess would be that some (possibly tiny) difference in the details has somehow crept in, even though I think you used the clipboard to copy and paste the citation.

Ron: Live and learn! Now I have to re-think the use of those selections. Thanks again.

Kirsten, Yes, it does seem logical. The fact is that by selecting to show the comment on the first time only your are, in effect, creating two different citations, one with the comment and one without.

Jenny and Ron: I believe I've found the quirk causing the duplicate source citations. In creating the Master Source I added text in the Comments about this Master Source box, and checked to include it on reports the first time only. In experimenting now, I changed that selection to each time--and the duplicated citation disappeared. I wouldn't expect that one time/every time choice to have the side effect of duplicating sources, but perhaps that's the way it's supposed to work. Does this seem logical to you? Thanks so much for helping to investigate this issue.
