If a family line is completely hidden by another one, Problem Spotter doesn't catch it

I found this one by accident when I was fixing overlapping
family
issues in that big project I've been mentioning in my other bug
reports
. Apparently, if a shorter family line is completely covered by a longer family line on the same Y co-ordinate,
Problem Spotter
doesn't report it.
Screenshots
showing Problem Spotter's problem count and highlighted family lines follow; I gave each family line a different colour, and the only difference between the two screenshots is the Z position of the shorter family line (which I left selected when it was behind, to indicate that it is still present).
Note that the Problem Spotter's indicator is present in the first case, and absent in the second. I hope I'm not driving the
developers
crazy with these; just trying to
help
make the program better.

The goal of the Problem Spotter was to
find
common problems without having to allocate too much development time. I already have several ideas to improve the Problem Spotter of
GenoProX
.

I'm guessing that finding the completely-hidden family lines is a bigger
job
, then. Besides, a partially-overlapping family line is a bigger problem, especially if the family is moved, because then child lines might get re-routed as a result of the overlap, if the overlapping families
share
a spouse. I've dealt with my share of those before I had the Problem Spotter to help me find them.
