Author	Maybe have Problem Spotter report these, or simply prevent them from happening in the first place

Is there a way to prevent family lines from being separated from their parent and child links (by automatically stretching such lines instead of simply moving them horizontally)? This would still allow vertical movement of the line, but it would prevent links from being visually broken. Alternatively, it would be nice to have Problem Spotter report them. This may be a useful stepping stone toward improving the Auto-Arrange as well, as a big part of the problem with the AutoArrange as it currently stands with complex families is that there isn't a rule stating that parents and children must remain connected to their families; for simple trees with no multiple marriages, this is obvious, but for more complex families, maybe this needs to be spelled out for the program. Just a thought. Another thought: I just realized that for any family line, there should be a parent or child vertical line at each end of it (except in the case of twins, which creates its own complication at the far right end of a family line). If the AutoArrange and "move" routine can check for that condition and maintain it, that would be a big step toward keeping these lines properly connected; I assume this is done already in most cases, as parent and child lines normally follow the family line quite well when things are being moved.
