[Gramps-bugs] Select (existing) Place Window (and other selecting windows) in Gramps 4.0.2 for Mac

[Kenneth Mantei <kmantei@cs...>]

   If I am not sending my plea for help to the right place, please, anyone, point me right via personal email:  kmantei@... I know about the official bug report page but it looks too difficult to use.

   In Gramps 4.0.1 many windows show lists from which one may choose. I find some of these windows in 4.0.2 have only two live lines displayed at the top of otherwise blank gray windows. They scroll, but very slowly. One can drag the "thumb" up and down but the movement is then way too rapid. I don't see any preference setting and doubt there is one because I can restart in 4.0.1, without changing anything, and the windows work fine. Any ideas how to fix 4.0.2?

This is a well-known and much discussed problem which we think is resolved in 4.0.3, which we just released. Please try it out.

For reference, the most recent bug on the topic is https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=7409.

I don't want to miss any opportunity to thank you and others involved for hanging in the saddle as your pony has grown into a Clydsdale. ;-)
My selection windows work well again in 4.0.3-1.
