issue with record window filter

Post by BillH » 20 Dec 2014 21:06

I am having an issue with the filter on the Individuals tab of the record window not getting cleared out in a particular instance.

1. Go to the Individuals tab of the record window and put something in the filter and select a record in the list.
2. Go to the map window and select a place name.
3. On the menu select View>Record Links....
4. Select one of the records in the list and click on Go To.
5. In the resulting window click on the Go To Record button in the toolbar.

Rather than taking me to the record in the records window for the person selected in step 4, it takes me to the record that was selected in step 1.

Shouldn't the filter be cleared as part of the process of step 4?

That is a bug and I can create a similar scenario with Sources and Media.
In the Family Historian Sample Project:
  1. In Sources tab of Records Window enter Filter Title = Army
  2. Select one of the Army Service... records
  3. In Media tab select the 1871 Census RG99 123 12345 record
  4. Use View > Record Links and Go To the 1871 Census - Scotland
  5. In its Property Box click Go To Record
  6. The Army Service... record is selected instead of the 1871 Census - Scotland

Mike,

This still doesn't work for me in the scenario I first reported. So I would say that it is not fixed in 6.0.4.

EDIT: Actually this IS fixed in 6.0.4. I don't know what I did the first time, but I've tried several more times and it works as desired now.
