Multiple names, can't edit primary name was created by bonbonthejon
I am noticing that if a person has multiple names entered, there is an edit button next to each non-primary name. There is also an edit button under Edit, however that brings up a non-primary name, as opposed to editing the primary name (and references) as expected. Are others noticing that?

No, definitely not. Is that true for ANY person with multiple names, or just one? A couple of options that might help us diagnose the issue:
1 - Can you show us the GEDCOM data for that, or any individual showing this problme, or
2 - Can you add similar details somewhere in this site's DEMO install, so we can look at it there. If you login as "demo_admin" you won't have to accept any changes you make, as that user has auto-accept, or
3 - Can we (with admin access) see it first-hand on your site?

Sorry - scrub my last answer. I've just tried 2. myself, and you are right.

I'll see what I can find out. Thanks.

I had opened a bug #706765 on Launchpad about a related issue with people with multiple names.

It looks like it always selects the last name [strike]entered!![/strike] listed in the GEDCOM.

Thanks. I've edited out your GEDCOM data to save everyone from scrolling though it. Its not relevant to this issue, as I now see. I will raise a new bug report for this, as it is a different issue (though related) to #706765 which was fixed.

Ken, yes you are right, that is what it was doing. Now fixed (svn 11173) so that it selects the first, which is always the primary. Didn't bother with a bug report as it was an easy fix.
