I was rearranging a rather large and complex genogram (in order for it to get larger and more complex) when I noticed something. First, some background: I have several cases of known siblings with no information at all about their parents, so I didn't create entities for the parents. Now, what I noticed: When moving the children of such families to the left or right, the opposite end of the family line stays fixed, resulting in the unwanted elongation of the family line, and when I move the children back inward, the end of the family line does not follow them and automatically shorten the line as it does with families that have parent entities.
I know development is on hold at the moment (unless there has been more recent news on that front), but I thought I should report this all the same and see if it's just me, or if anyone else has noticed the same thing.
Edit: And yes, it's largely a cosmetic thing, but it can get annoying if you have to move one sibling from one side of the genogram to the other without moving the other sibling who is somewhere in the middle of it all. I haven't tested AutoArrange with this error because AutoArrange does terrifying things with my genograms, but that's another matter. 
Thanks!

If you have a rather large and complex genogram I would stay far away from the AutoArrange. One the primary feature of GenoPro beside all other competitors is that you can actually place item where you want them and display complex genogram.

You didn't need to tell me to stay far away from AutoArrange. I have a screenshot of an AutoArrange attempt with a far less complex genogram; all of the horizontal lines are clustered together in one small area, all of the vertical lines are clustered together in another, and most of the individuals are grouped in two or three clusters with a dozen or so scattered randomly across the grid. That was from two or three years ago; I haven't touched AutoArrange since.
