Need person detail page AND record page open for comparison.
When viewing details of a person, then clicking a link under Research Help, a window opens at the right. When clicking View Record, the record page opens. But, the person detail page is no longer shown. I would be better if the the view record page would open in a new window so the person detail page is visible to compare info between the two pages.
Furthermore, once you have attached the record to the family tree, you cannot go back to the person detail page.
You can, of course, "right mouse click" on View Record and select open in new window, but not everyone knows that.
Better yet, split the screen so the person details are shown on the left (without the column showing research help, search records, etc.), and the record page on right so the two "pages" are side-by-side for comparison. This would make it much easier to see if a record matches, and therefore avoiding huge mistakes!

Have you tried the sources option in the tools section?

I read this last night and decided to come back to it later, because either I was misreading something, or the last paragraph asks for almost exactly what currently happens if you click one of the record hints showing in the Research Help box.
The misbehavior of the "View Record" button is a different matter, and should be fixed: buttons should never hijack the page. (Technically, hijacking is the default/original behavior for links, but they should look like links for that to apply.)
