    When checking the index entries for the 1950 census, sometimes the edit box obscures the entry to be checked and cannot be moved. Can you make it moveable?

    @Marilyn Manzella Unfortunately, the edit box isn't currently moveable. This function has been requested by several people. What you can do though is resize the screen and the edit box will move. You can do this on the web by using your scroll wheel on your mouse or clicking the + or - in the top right corner. On mobile use you fingers to zoom in or out on the screen. Thanks for joining us in the 1950 census!
