Known FileMaker Pro Bugs

As far as I know, these bugs are still relevant:


Known FileMaker Pro bug #1

Alignment Tools and Custom Menus

A bug that presented itself in FileMaker 10 and has persisted until this day concerns the alignment tools in the relationship graph.  If you entered the graph from a layout that is in browse mode, and are using a custom menu, then the alignment tools are going to be greyed out and unavailable.  You should ensure that you are in layout mode first, or switch your custom menu.

Known FileMaker Pro bug #2
When moving a hosted file to another location, remember to also manually delete the entry of the previous server from the Favourite Host listing in the “Manage Favourites” popup window, as shown below, otherwise it will 'mask' the newly allocated server address.  If this happens, delete all hosts' addresses from the Open Remote DIalogue Box and - after you've deleted the old server's details from the Manage Favorites List, re-create the new server's details in the Open Remote Dialogue Box, under Favorite Hosts Tab.


Known FileMaker Pro bug #3

Note Notes Not Knotted

The "Access and Notes" Combox is connected to all Items in one Order - why is that? 
Example: see Order ID 23036, where the Gas Meter details belong to the first Item in the Order and the Electricity Meter serial number belongs to the second Item.
