[bt-devel] Bug(s) (?) with Bibletime from CVS

[Steven P. Ulrick]

Hello, Everyone :)
I don't know for sure if this is a bug with Bibletime, Sword, or just a
few Sword modules, but it goes something like this.
I have only the following options checked on Settings | Configure
BibleTime | Sword | Filter settings:
Insert line break after each verse
Show verse numbers

The problem is, that if I copy (copying the entire chapter, not selected
text.  It makes a difference), let's say Genesis 1:19 (from the KJV
module), it looks like this when I paste it:

19 And the evening {<06153>} and the morning {<01242>} were the fourth
{<07243>} day {<03117>}.  (And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was,
and the morning was etc.)

You will notice that not only are the Strong's numbers included, but
whatever this is called is printed as well:
(And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.)
This is not the most convenient thing for most of the projects that I
use Bibletime for.  I can find and replace all the symbols, and then do
the same thing with all ten digits, but I would prefer to not have to go
through that at all.  I don't know when this started to work this way,
but I know it didn't used to.

Since I wanted to actually work on a project, I tried the KJV Lite
module.  I had the following results with the same verse I used as an
example above:
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.  [And the
evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.]

I used to be able to decide on the above mentioned filters tab (I think.
 The only thing I know for sure is that I never had the information
between the [ and the ] symbols appear in anything that I copied or
pasted from Bibletime.)  This is also information that I don't want to
have to delete manually all the time.

I discovered that if I just select the verse that I used above as an
example, it behaves differently.  Here is Genesis 1:19 (from the KJV
module), selected all by itself, instead of copied from an entire
chapter that I copied and pasted:
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. *n 

KJV Lite:
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. *n 


So apparently, using the KJV module for an example, the Strong's numbers
only are pasted when "Copy Chapter" is chosen.  "Copy Selected Text"
does not copy the Strong's numbers.


The way that I would like it to behave, and the way that it used to
behave, is best illustrated from my first example from Genesis 1:19 - 
Undesirable behavior:
19 And the evening {<06153>} and the morning {<01242>} were the fourth
{<07243>} day {<03117>}.  (And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was,
and the morning was etc.)

Desired behavior:
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

If this is a feature, and not a bug, I do hope that I haven't sounded
rude :)  But if it is a feature, it is one that I would sure like to be
changed :)

If you desire any clarification, or if there is anything I can do to
help out with this issue, I would be glad to oblige :)
