Summary: Inconsistent behavior when clicking on Bible Reference links

Initial Comment:
I am running BibleTimesvnr1823 on WindowsXP

I'm doing some experimenting with Bible reference links that contain multiple references.
I understand that a particular text may be tagged in a way that is inconsistent and can cause behavior differences in BibleTime.  However, I believe I've found some examples where BibleTime does not properly handle Bible Reference links.

First example :
Abbott Commentary @ Matthew 1:1 - There is a link with the text 'Luke 5:27, 29,'  When I hover over this link the Mag tools display the correct references, that is, Luke 5:27 and Luke 5:29.  However, if I click on this link then two Bible windows are opened both of them are at Luke 5:27.  

The Problem:
  One window should be Luke 5:27 and the other should be Luke 5:29. If the mag tool can display the correct references then BibleTime should be able to open the windows to the correct points.

Ideally, I would want only one Bible window to open and the verses should be clearly indicated (by indicated I mean they should be highlighted, have a star next to them or use some other means to point them out from the rest of the text)

I will download the source to the Abbott commentary and look at this link. Perhaps this will shed some light on the problem.

Message:
Daniel, working on Linux with revision 1894, BibleTime only opens the first
reference, which is good. We just don't support verse lists yet.
The doble opening was caused by another bug which I fixed at our second
Bug-A-Thon.

Verse ranges aren't that simple. They'd require a big refactoring.

Message:
How much a deal would it be for display windows to show verse ranges such
as Lk 1:2-4 or "Lk 1:2; Lk 4:3" ?  The mag viewer does this to a certain
degree, right?  If the display windows can do this too, then we just show
the list of keys in that window.
