Working Nicely
I spent a couple of hours tonight undoing and redoing a batch of merges that had mixed up two brothers of the same name. One was born in 1813 and the other in 1821. When I was done, the brother born in 1813, who had died in 1814, had 36 sources that were for the other brother who had grown up, married and had 10 children.
Working on the Sources tab and moving those 36 sources to the correct brother by using the review attachments links, changing focus people, detaching from the wrong brother, and attaching to the right brother worked very well. There were no delays on the page. Everything worked very fast. The automatic scrolling was very smooth. I never had to scroll the page myself since these sources had at most four people in them. Some of the sources were attached to both brothers and I could easily detach those from the wrong brother and leave them attached to the right brother.
The newest colors are quite nice and I like that the boxes are a little shorter so the page is more compact.
I would say it looks like everything is in place, well polished, and ready for turning off the old version as planned.

@Gordon Collett Thank you for the feed back. I have also been reviewing some of the Known Issues that I have listed on Source Linker Feedback.
1. Alignment issues with refresh seems solved. I still have to change focus person when the Source Linker cannot figure out the relationship. Once I get them aligned, then I can attach them no problem.2. The Same House in 1935 in the 1940 Census will be changed to copy the 1940 place instead of "Same house'.
3. Drag and drop is fixed
4. Source Tagging is now an option. Once you show tags, it stays open by default for all other records. If you do not wantto see tags, you can leave them minimized.
