[xiphos-users] Parallel view issue in 4.1.0

While looking at anotgher reported parallel view issue I ran into what may
be a new one in 4.10, or at least one I haven't seen previously:

When I  have several parallel columns (not sure it matters how many
columns) open in a either a tab or a detached window, the chapter spinner
arrows don't do the right thing.

This is on Centos-7, I compiled 4.1.0 myself making sure to be using
the latest Sword (1.8.1, I think it is) and biblesync (1.2.0), and
I am using the gtk3 binary.

In fact, just noticed it is not just the chapter arrows, its all of
them, for book, chapter, and verse. clicking the downward one may or
may not do anything, it may be greyed out, it may go to the previous
book/chapter/verse or it may go to some other one, or it may not do
anything.

clicking the upward pointing arrow may go upward, it may go downward.
in many cases it goes up 2 or 3 times then starts counting downward, as
you continue to click on it, then reverts to upward then downward, and
so forth. sometimes it will go up 2 or 3 then down 2 or 3, sometimes it
will go up for larger numbers of clicks before it starts going downward.

It seems fairly random, or maybe there's just an un-initialized variable
there somewhere and we take potluck every time we click one of those
arrows.

Karl, I can provide both the binary RPM and debuginfo, if you find you
need it. You have just to ask.
