Bug Description
In SVN 9589, this is what I have to do to add children to a family:
Select change family members.
The widget appears with the bottom row of the table saying Add child / (blank) / Change
Click Change and select the child with the finder
The blank is replaced with the word undefined **
click Save
wait for the refresh, and then select change family members again.
At the **, according to the text above the table, it should put in either the name or the PID, and add a new row to the table. If you believe that text, and add another child, you actually replace the first one. But you can't tell that until you click Save because of the "undefined"

Not sure this is really a bug when you consider how many sql actions are necessary (record updates) to make just one change.
It is much easier to use the LINK from the Relatives tab on the INDI record to add a child to an existing family. The Change Family tool is a great feature, but not practical to quickly add. Simply copy the FAM record XREF from the URL with a quick double-click, then use GEN SEARCH for finding the person you added (or add them and go to their record), and then use this quick link-up procedure. I've done it thousands of times. You can even use it to add Adoptions, Foster kids, or even to add a child to a correct family, then when it refreshes, click the wrong family record link and use the Change Family Members to delete the child from that family record.
