When I opened the recent list all the individuals were noted as private. Is this a glitch? They are all deceased, except myself.

    This is happening to me too, starting today. The profiles that are listed are almost all public. Maybe the status is being inherited from the user's profile which is listed separately at the top of the list and is always private.

    Looks like I have the same issue. Luckily, it appears to only be a visual glitch.

    These profiles seem to be listed as Private when the list is opened from the Family Tree / Recents menu item. They are listed correctly if the list is opened by clicking OPEN ALL in the Recently Viewed section of the family tree home page. The layouts of these two lists are slightly different.

    This appears to have been partially fixed. It would seem to have arisen as part of a modification of the Family Tree / Recents list variant to add this status to display of each item. The items are now listed as either Public Person or Private Person. However, it does not distinguish between Private Person and Confidential Person; both are listed as Private Person.

    I recall very recently seeing this status appearing somewhere in FS where it had not been previously displayed; in that case Confidential Person was displayed where appropriate. I'm not sure whereabouts in FS that was; maybe it was in a slightly earlier version of this same list.

    Thank you. I checked back today and they are all listed as public now.

    Have a nice day!
