I'd suggest that you try it the other way round: open FTM first, and say OK to the required update from there, before logging in to ancestry itself.That should at least get the FTM update to work...

It's doing the same thing on Middlesex, England - converting to London even though Middlesex is a choice. I wonder who creates the Place list? They may need some attention.

This is a bug that has been reported before. As I recall, if I type it all in, and choose to ignore the unresolved place name, I'm fine, but if I select the Manhattan, New York, New York, USA option...
