new pedigree view

New pedigree view latest update has made it usable. The app greedily grabs the mouse pointer and will not let it go! If you try say for example to expand the tree and move the mouse the entire tree moves and will not release! {a unnecessary Right clicking bring up windows standard menu and reset context will solve this but not very desirable for the average User}
I would also like a report a bug with the new and old pedigree windows after a refresh or accidentally mis click on to the background causes the display to lose context and display either extreme left or right! this is extremely annoying especially working with large trees and wastes a lot of time and effort.
Please also review the merging of records process. Its a great Idea but should be done at immediately family level {i.e. father, mother and children off} and not at the individual person level. Currently if you merge say the mother record an new husband is created with new person per child! The poor user then has to merge all these records! Displaying the consequences of the merge would also be desirable
With families of multiple marriages, it would be great it would be great if you could simply select the child with the mouse and move it to another parents pair.
When attaching the source it is not clear what the consequences are going to be and often records are attached blindly as a result!
Sharing a tree is a fantastic idea! Sharing work to achieve a global family tree. However it is only good as the sharers works and some are more able than others. It would be great to be able to take a time shot or to make a back up of own tree. I really think you should consider a direct download of own tree.
Please receive my thanks! I have learnt so much about my heritage thanks to your great work. This is not meant to negative but to help improve the process and make it even better! I am available anytime to discuss much more ideas including how addresses work in both in the UK and Ireland as your standard places is very strange to anyone from these countries and is not how they are commonly referred as!

I would really like to see the Task list on my app on my phone be the same as on the Website. (I only attach a record on the app when I am quite certain as it takes a lot of work to undo it and correct it.) I usually peruse the tasks in the App when I am somewhere I cannot take my PC, and make mental notes of what to look at when I return home for further verification before attaching. When I get back home the task list is totally different than that on my phone (I have verified this by having both open at the same time....same account and same log in)
I use the fan view of the Family tree quite often as it is usually easy to navigate. The issue I have is on the Desktop is if I look at at an ancestor, or somebody unrelated I cannot go back to myself as home person and view the chart. It should not be that hard.
Thirdly, this just happened this week: My whole Desktop site switched to French and English was not an option to select, only several other languages. I am lucky, I know German and can read some French but what if this happens to some who does not know a second or third language. After a day I was able to select English again and the site was about two-thirds English and one-third French. Now it is back to English.
I do like the new set-up for the most part, and once the bugs are worked out I am sure it will be great.
Many Thanks

I have noticed in some cases of using the new pedigree view that rather than showing the person details on the right hand side, the display swaps to the Person View (ie removing the pedigree chart completely).
I have not been able to replicate this issue. It is possibly related to the position of the person (being clicked) on the pedigree view display.
Also when I tried to use the Feedback button on the new pedigree view, it gave an error.
