In the tree looks like a woman was married but not married or not married but married, whatever way you look into it. Maybe describing it as not consistent would be better than misleading.

Marriages are shown with lines, aren't they?
Married have a line between them:

Dear Elena,

Just to be clear: I do like Agelong so this matter of missing maiden name is not critical to me.
I agree with you that in the tree it is visible if a woman was married when you look at the lines connecting the people.
From my perspective the behavior is simply not consistent. If a woman is called Jane with maiden name Smith and she marries a man John Newman then the display in the database and in the tree is: Jane (Smith) Newman while if she married John Smith the display is Jane Smith. In my opinion it should be Jane (Smith) Smith to be consistent. I understand to some extent the rationale behind the current setup, although if in case if a woman had no maiden surname and was called just Jane then after getting married to John Smith she would also be called Jane Smith.
However, as I said, from my perspective it is a minor matter.

Thank you for your feedback.

Do you mean if a woman doesn't have a maiden surname because it is unknown to the researcher? Probably in this case the solution is to put a question mark in the "Maiden surname" field to show that the information about her maiden name has not been found out yet. If you know that the girl didn't have a surname at birth at all (as some centuries ago some people didn't have surnames at all, depending on their class), it may be a good idea to fill the field "Maiden surname" with a "had no surname" or just a dash like "-".

The reason why the coinciding surnames are not shown twice is this: in case when a girl is not married, we know both: her current surname and her birth surname, we enter them, but it is not nice to see them both in the tree as Smith (Smith).

Thank you for explaining the rationale for not having Smith (Smith). I am looking forward to seeing Version 6 released.
