All Relative Diagram limiting display of a couple of individuals

I am working on an All Relative Diagram (25 individuals). I've entered two sets of parents one for each of a married couple 3 generations back from my root.
However, I find on the diagram that only one set of parents is shown connected to the correct one of the children, the other child has no parents showing. It changes to the two parents of the other child if I select that child by highlighting their box. and regenerating the diagram.
I can't find a way to show both sets of parents on the complete diagram at the same time.
What am I doing wrong, please?

Unfortunately, we cannot tell from your mini-tree diagrams, because it depends on how those people are related to the original tree root. For example, relatives of spouses of spouses of direct ancestors are not included.

You must use Diagram > Insert Into Diagram > Ancestor Tree... to add the missing parents.
Then use Diagram > Save Diagram to preserve it as a Save FH Chart.

OR upgrade to FH V7 that has an All Relatives + Indirect Relatives Diagram.

BYW: There are techniques for including more relatives that you may be unaware of.
For example, with your two mini-trees, if you select both George and Anna as the tree root, then both their parents are shown in the same Diagram. See FHUG Knowledge Base View Both Spouses’ Ancestors in Diagrams.
