Query results without text

I am asking this on behalf of a friend who also uses FH v7
Since they upgraded to V7 they have noticed that their query results do not have the textual name of the INDIvidual. For example, running the Immediate Relations query produces -
0D22ED6E570245F2996A56AD0FAD2ADB.png
0D22ED6E570245F2996A56AD0FAD2ADB.png (38.7 KiB) Viewed 1187 times
Clicking on the INDIvidual icon brings up the appropriate individual's properties as it should.
This has only occurred since the upgrade and previously queries worked as expected. No other "gremlins" seem to have materialised and lists appear with the appropriate text against the icon as expected.
I have looked to see if there are any "options" for the query results set that could have been inadvertently tweaked but can't see anything. Completely baffled.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Brian

It seems somebody has been tampering with the Query Window colours and set the names of linked records to white :roll:

Click the cog wheel Query Menu and choose Options to open the Query Window preferences.
Alternatively, use Tools > Preferences > Query Window to reach the same dialogue.
( Click on Colours... and I wager £10 that Data-Linked Text is set to White which makes it hard to see! )

Anyway, click Restore Defaults and OK and everything should return to normal.

Maybe the above is the reason your friend is uncomfortable asking for themself?
It seems highly unlikely that the upgrade to FH V7 would cause that change in colour settings to happen.

Mike, thanks.

So simple. I've got to admit that never crossed my mind. I've passed on your solution, hopefully that resolves it.

Much appreciated
Brian
