This person detail page indicates there are 13 research hints.

When using the family tree, there is clearly (and consistently) a blue indicator that there are research hints for the same person:

Clicking on the blue indicator under the same person (first box on the left), gives you a research hint count of 5:

Shouldn't the Research count in the parentheses show 13?

This is not a whine, by far I've found it very nice to have the pop up that clears off the hint once it has been attached. Yes, I noticed. Yes, that is a wonderful thing.

Just a bit of a tweak is needed to get the total Research Hint count corrected on the popup box.

    It appears that the pedigree view (both the old and the new) has a maximum of 5 on those Record Hint popups. I doubt this is entirely intentional. There is a community group for discussions about the new pedigree views; perhaps a question about this there would get the attention of the right people. (I basically never use the pedigree views, so I haven't joined the group.)

    Note, however, that they may have the same initials, but "Research Help" does not equal "Record Hint". Research Help includes record hints, data problems, and research suggestions.

    The "see 3" pop-up, "show all (5)" message, and "see 5" pop-up are normal behavior. It has been like that for years, whenever there are 5 or more hints. It is nothing to do with the new person page or new pedigree view.

    Those same pop-ups can be accessed from the descendancy tree view, which is where I prefer to work hints.

    I am providing links to both the New Person Page group and the Tree Pedigree Views group. You may want to ask in either of those locations @bekasu
