v.5.5.13

When adding two fillings, say #10 LI Comp. and # 12 LO Comp, if I select both teeth and hit the O/I and L buttons, it lists them both as 2 surface LI comps but then if you look at the details of #12 it's listed as just an L Comp and suggests you change to a 1-surface.

In other words when you use the O/I button it picks either O or I, even if you've selected multiple teeth where some should be O and some I, and then displays some slightly odd behavior. It would be better if it chose O or I as appropriate for each tooth.

I think that the bug has to do with entering treatment for an anterior tooth and posterior tooth at the same time. The program handles them differently. I don't know how easy that it is to fix.
But I do know that if you are careful not to try and do multiple entries which include both anterior and posterior teeth at the same time you will at least avoid the problem from occuring.

Since it's by design, we don't really consider it a bug. It's just something to keep in mind when doing multiple procedures at the same time.

OK. I would be happier if it threw up a notice instead of silently doing something unexpected, because it affects the integrity of the database. That's just my opinion, though, and now that I know I can work with it. Thanks!
