Bug Report: Strange Behavior in list of hints
On https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/research-help/2WMC-CBL there is this hint showing a very wrong birth place:
Neither the source linker:
nor the actual record at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6876-YLVN:
Show that full birth place, just the single name of the place in Norway where she was born. This random standardization of incomplete place names is not helpful and needs to be corrected.

@Gordon Collett - Do you still have the original screenshots? If you do, would you try editing your post and re-uploading the images? I can only see the hourglass.

I deleted and re-added the images. Hope they stay this time.

For the middle three, the Other residence in the actual index is just Bakke. The records are from the parish records for Tysnes. This should display either as what is actually in the index, that is "Bakke" or if going to be standardized, this needs to be set by someone who knows the records not an apparently automatic routine and display as Bakke, Tysnes, Hordaland, Norway.
For the last entry, the Other residence in the actual index is T.S., meaning Tysnes Sogn, that is Tysnes, Hordaland, Norway. It has nothing to do with Italy whatsoever.
This programming error is going to be very confusing for users who come to this page and don't realize that the information here can be wildly inaccurate and is not even close to what is in the index. Please correct this so that what displays is what the index actually contains.

Let's just simplify life: FamilySearch, please revert all of the auto-standardizations that you've made in the past year or so. Every. Single. One. Go back to what the indexes said circa 2018 or 2019. Then start fresh, but in some manner that involves knowledgable human input, and that takes the collection's and film's or image group's location into consideration.
