    I do not like the "possible duplicate" warnings I receive, as 90% of them are for different surnames and/or relate to individuals who never lived in the same area. However, there is a good, general argument for being able to see these suggestions other than from the Person page.

    In fact, I will give her another data problem:



    The new one does show on the two pedigree views:

    The new Fan Chart view does show potential duplicates

    Looks like a bug if you're insisting ALL "data problems" should be showing up in Landscape and Descendancy views.
