[sword-devel] Not user-friendly behavior in commentaries (should be continuous)

[David Haslam]

Greg would remind us all again that the Windows versions of Sword utilities are not officially supported.

You’d need to have someone demonstrate whether the same issue arises when the modules are built under Linux.

Best regards.

Each build is labled either 2893 or 3431. Sorry they are so big, but I didn't feel like cutting them down to a subset just for this demo. I also included the (approximate/probable) command line used (build notes.txt), and a copy of the output of osis2mod (compilerr.txt).
