The descendancy chart is sometimes truncated

Example G3VQ-DB3

When looking at the four-generation option, the last two children visible in the three-generation chart are omitted. I have the portrait option turned off. Curiously, the portrait option at least includes place-holders for the last two children, but I want a more compact list to print. In fact, I wouldn't mind a way to reduce the size in general.

    Suggestion: In the upper right, click on Options. Uncheck the portraits. This makes the view much more compact.

    It's unchecking the portraits that truncates the list. There's no sign that it's been truncated. The portrait view has a place-holder, though.

    For Descendancy view, 4 generations, I see a couple and 6 children, whether portraits are off or on. Turning them off provides a more compact list, which you said you wanted to print.

    Perhaps you need to adjust the zoom level on your screen if you are not seeing all 6 children?

    You're looking at the four generation chart?

    I think I found a partial work-around. I turn portraits on and then off, and the compact version now at least shows a place-holder for the last two children. That way I can tell the list has not been expanded for more generations.

    I use the descendancy tree viewer a lot, in several different browsers, with 4+ generations, and have never seen any truncation of the tree. I always have profile portraits turned off, spouses turned on, hints turned on.
