[Pkg-crosswire-devel] Bug#655758: bibletime: Overwrites personal commentary entries in synchronize mode

[green]

Package: bibletime
Version: 2.5-1
Severity: normal

Because this bug causes data loss, perhaps a higher severity would be 
suitable?

When using the personal commentary editor in syncronized mode, it is possible 
to overwrite other entries when: modifying an entry, switching verses, and 
accepting the save dialog.

Steps to reproduce:
(Backup commentary in verses Gen1:1 to Gen1:2 if you have some there.)
- Open bibletime
- Open 2 modules, a bible and the personal commentary editor (I am using the 
plain text editor)
- Enable the "synchronize" option on the toolbar of the editor window
- In the bible window, go to eg. Gen1:1 (editor window follows)
- In the editor window, modify the entry (eg "this is Gen1:1"), do not save
- In the bible window, switch to Gen1:2
- Accept the dialog to save changed text ("Yes")
- Notice that the commentary was saved to Gen1:2 instead of Gen1:1; if any 
commentary existed in Gen1:2, it is now lost

A simple solution (perhaps) would be to disable/remove the "synchronize" 
button from the editor toolbar: if the commentary is modified and the 
*editor* is used to switch to another verse, expected behavior occurs.

Thanks!
