<div class="moz-cite-prefix">No, I did not reinstall Gramps. But
since the export of the bad DB imported w/ the error I would not
expect a benefit. As I said the older backup did import ok and I
did three census records last night exporting after each , but no
problems. I did consider possibly a long line and first when I
thought I had extra spaces, stretched Gramps across two screens.
But its just an extra wide single space.<br>
I've installed Grumps 4.2.3, 4.2.5 and 5.0 about 8 times in the
last few weeks. If the problem reoccurs I will reinstall again to
see if some code is altered creating the problem.<br>
Thanks for your suggestions.<br>

<div>You don't mention if you wiped out the previous install of
Gramps and its user files and then doing a clean install.
Doing that does not require that you do an import. It would be
able to open your existing database.</div>

that important post, but I haven't been able to send,

will be the charm)<br>
<br>
I imported the backup from the 18th and it looks good
set the LM large text and it gets bigger but without all
the extra space. Reverting to normal text looks good. So
not sure that the issue was making text large.<br>
Exported my current tree and re-imported and it looks
bad. So the "badness" went with the export.<br>
I'm going to play with the good import of the 18th and
see if the problem reoccurs. I will also look at
.gramps. I did something there but I think it was with
Forms.<br>
If it reoccurs I will try a reinstall.<br>
I've only added two census records since the 18th, so
not too bad.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>If anything, it seems like the problem would be
with the settings in gramps, not the databases.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have you tried deleting gramps and doing a
complete reinstall including, and I think most
important, deleting the gramps user files. These
are the files that contain what and how things are
displayed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You'd need to reinstall addons and reconfigure
how and what things are displayed but your data
should be okay.</div>

<div>I had a problem last week that after an add-on
update, the People list would only show one column
of information. Starting fresh by deleting
everything except the database folder the
thumbnail folder and the custom_filters.xml file
in the gramps42 folder then reinstalling was the
only way to fix it. Everything worked fine after
the reinstall including after reinstalling all
add-ons including the one that seemed to cause the
issue.</div>

<div>Hope this helps, Dave</div>

<div>Since you add the tag line "Have you backed up
your files today?" I wont remind you... which I
just did.</div>

I don't doubt my setting visual aids to
large text might have created this problem
but how to get out of it? My backup last
night would contain the problem, and the
previous backup is the 18th. And with a bum
arm I have not done to much to lose.<br>
The problem is not a double space but the
space is double wide. I don't see that
Gramps has any options to control this. The
problem is only with the sources view and
only when sorted in one direction.<br>
I think I will restore the backup from the
18th in another new tree and see if the
problem is there.<br>
