#409 Glossary: unclear display if combined entries contain a ","
In the glossary, combined entries (e.g., drive = lecteur, disque, unité de disque) are separated by a comma.
This can lead to an unclear display, especially with regards to numbered comments, if one of the entry contains a comma.
drive = lecteur
drive = disque, unité de disque
are combined as
drive = lecteur, disque, unité de disque
To solve this, combined entries containing a comma should be bracketed by ".
With the above example, this will give
drive = lecteur, "disque, unité de disque"
(Entries containing ; or " are already bracketed by " automatically.)

Fixed in SVN (/trunk).

I know you already put some hard work into this, but I would like to comment anyway.
An alternative is to use a character that one would very like never find in a glossary, and my vote would be on the pipe (or more properly, a pipe with a space on either side).
So:
drive = lecteur | disque, unité de disque
or you could also end with a pipe:
drive = lecteur | disque, unité de disque |
-- leuce
I considered this option (using the |) and nearly did it that way.
But then, what happens if the entry contains the pipe? I would still have to do something.
And what I have done is in line with what Java/OmegaT does already automatically when an entry contains ";".
(In the end, having the combined entries separator configurable would be the better solution, but it is costly in terms of development time/documentation.)

This bug was corrected in the just released version 2.0.2 of OmegaT.
