Capital letters missing in new reminder "every second..."
Windows 10 MD 2014.2 (5146) The recently added reminder feature shows Capital letters for all reminders except "every second..." That reminder idea looks like it will be helpful. Thanks.

Can you send a screenshot?

I had noticed that in the Reminders View and it "took me a second" to realize that the reminder schedule for my Social Security payment wasn't "every second," but "every second Wednesday (of the month)," lol.
It grabs the info from the Transaction/General Reminder "Weekly" tab:
"Repeat on" --> Dropdown box which includes "every, every first, every second," etc (They all begin with lower case letters)..
I didn't even notice the lack of capitalization, but had thought that it was too bad that it didn't go down to the next level of also displaying the selected day (in my case Wednesday), but thought that it was probably too cumbersome for that to be included.

Thanks TonyRI. I have come to the same conclusion. The program is pulling info from the Transaction Reminder dropdown boxes. Hence, all small letters in some cases. I also have an "Upcoming, Daily (730 days)" so the calendar body is starting to "crunch" in size horizontally with that entry. It appears as if the Reminder column sizes automatically so I need to shorten my Reminder Names to avoid the "crunch" effect. It is interesting to see that the "highlight" of your month is also mine; "every second Wednesday".

A screen shot would be very helpful!?

Ah, I see now.. In fact - there needs to be more of the repeat data added too IMHO...

You're welcome minikupr
I hadn't run into the crunch issue, but it is funny that we saw different problems with the "every second Wednesday" reminders! :)
I've attached screen shots for you Stuart. Hope it clarifies what we're talking about. It's in reference to the changelog for build 5146:
"Also on the Reminders view, a summary of each reminder's schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, etc) is shown in the list next to each reminder."

Scratch the screenshots, lol. I'm glad that you figured out what we were talking about!

@minikupr, I just realized what you meant by "highlight," duh, lol. I guess that you were born on the 1st - 10th as well, and please don't tell me it's the 7th, that would just be too weird! ;)

It just needs some Sean GUI magic applied.

TonyRI - Well, OK. Not so weird. Mine's the 9th. Ha! I did shorten all of the Reminder names and the calendar looks better now. That caused me to think about something else. On an individual day in the calendar you might have 6 or 7 entries. How do they sort? It looks random to me...

Interesting question. The most that I have are four. On the calendar, there is an automatic transfer between accounts, an income entry, a different automatic transfer between accounts and a payment, It's not Alphabetical and it doesn't appear to be by transaction, or account type. Not sure what to make of it.
