[sword-devel] Issues I have encountered

[David Trotz (Integrity Online)]

These are definitely some interesting bugs. I noticed that some strange
things were actually engineered into the front-end. Chapter 0 and Verse 0,
were at my first glance errors, but after playing a bit with it I noticed
that verse 0 of a chapter shows the chapter preface notes for the
commentaries, and Chapter 0 of a book shows the preface notes for the book.
MHC is on such commentary that works in this way. I wonder if when some of
these other bugs are addressed we could also look at the Chapter 0, Verse 0
"features" and implement them in a more intuitive way. I would have never
guessed that this is how I would find the preface notes.
In Christ,
David Trotz

shows verse or chapter 1. Also if you type in a verse with

chapter before the previous chapter.(And if you put in Mat 1:0,

strange example: type in Mat 0:0 - it changes to Malachi

Press prev chapter: Matthew 0:12. Press prev chapter:
> Matthew 1:6
