Descendancy Chart is broken
When using the Descendancy Chart and you've scrolled down the chart, and find an ordinance to reserve, you click the temple icon, click Request and the Church Policy pops up. That's where the problem occurs.
Last week, you could click Accept and after the Church Policy disappears, and you would REMAIN on the row with the temple icon you just clicked.
NOW, when you click Accept, the Church Policy disappears and you get repositioned on top/first row of the Descendancy Chart - That's bad, because now you have to scroll back down the chart and try to find the place/row you were at before clicking the Request.
If you have 4 generation selected and have many temple icon opportunities to check out, starting back at the TOP of the Descendancy Chart EVERY time you click "Accept" is very annoying, frustrating, and as a consultant, my patrons are refusing to use the chart.
Please change things back to the way they were a week or so ago.
Thank you,
Ward Temple and Family History Leader

@RSJohns Thank you for your submission. It has been passed on to the proper Project Manager for review.

@Clif Bergmann Is this at all related to the new pedigree views?

@MaileLoveland: This issue should not be related at all to the work being done on the portrait/landscape pedigree views.
@RSJohns: I appreciate your noting of a timeframe where the functionality changed. I see a code deploy from the 17th that was meant to update an unrelated part of the site, but may have also pulled in additional unexpected changes. It appears that when the single temple icon is told to update, every descendant generation is also updating for some reason, which can definitely cause the jumpiness you are observing. We will look into the issue.

It also drops the opened sections of the line if you step away for too long. You have to finish the entire line at once (hours and hours for just one line).
What I do: When I see a green temple, instead of clicking on the temple, I right click on the person's name and open a new tab. I continue this process until I have too many open windows. I can then leave the tab open with the descendant line open and pray that it doesn't reboot while I deal with the individual ordinances from the person page in the next tab.
What I would like: Just as I can come back to the individual person pages I have left open in tabs, it would be truly helpful to be able to come back to the descendant chart I have left open without the system reloading it back to the first generation ancestors.
