I also work through 'Edit family' when working on large families. I have 
always thought that a double click should edit the child rather than the 
relationship. Is there a reason why not? Perhaps I should raise a change 
request.

I like the new event tabs. My only thought is that on the family view, 
when both the father's and mother's events are displayed, there may be 
some shared events duplicated. Parents are likely to share census and 
residence events. I don't see this as a problem though. It may even be a 
benefit.
