Last name inconsistency

Several times when I have recently been checking indexing (i.e. Idaho) the last name of the first record becomes the last name of each family on the page. Therefore, only for the first family am I able to verify the address, as I think that the computer thinks all the families have the same last name and I'm unable to change the address for the other family records on the same page.

    I think this is about the 1950 Census "indexing", not traditional indexing. I don't think this should be in Suggest An Idea, as it may be a long time before it is seen. There could also be a solution over in the 1950 Census group. I'm not working on the project, so I am of no help here. But, thanks for thinking of me, Brett!

    This is a known bug that keeps popping up in the 1950 census Family Review step. It seems to be in the user interface layer not the underlying database. Very annoying!

    I have noticed this same MAJOR bug - 100% of the time.

    In "Review Families," the last names are correct in Part 1, but several steps later, all last names (if they are different in Part 1) change to the same as the first person's last name. I'm pausing on Review Families until this bug is fixed.
