I thought I'd post here first in case this is a known issue. I've been away for a while and haven't logged in to this kit in the past two months.
The kit in question is my aunt's, she is the half-sister of my mother. I noticed today that she is showing as my mother's 'brother' instead of 'half-sister' which is how it used to appear. When I logged into my aunt's kit I notice that my mother also shows as her brother.
Looking further, my aunt's earliest paternal ancestor is now showing as her earliest maternal ancestor and vice versa. In fact, those sides seem to have entirely switched.
Her family tree shows everything correctly. But when I linked her to my own tree she appears as an 'uncle' whereas she used to show as an aunt.
My aunt tells me she has not changed the sex of her kit so I don't see how this happened. It was I who set up her earliest paternal/maternal ancestors and I'm quite sure I didn't add them the wrong way.
Is this a known problem which will fix itself or something I should report through more official channels? It looks like the kit now believes she is male. Possibly it always was male yet allowed her to be set as a sister/aunt, but I know the earliest ancestors were once correct.

I will also request IT assistance.
