Summary: GMGen initiative bugs

Initial Comment:
I received this email from an ENWorld user.

===
We played again yesterday, and I used GMGen to track 
initiative.  And I was having many of the same issues 
with the program.  Here's problems I was having:

1.  At some points I was able to change a Pc 
initiative score, and at some points I was not.  I 
suspect that it has something to do with the 
initiative count we happen to be on at the time, but I 
am not sure about that.  

2. At one point I added a new combatant to a battle -- 
a late PC had arrived.  When I added the PC's 
inforation and hit return the system rerolled ALL 
initiatives, screwing up the order for an entire 
battle.  

3. In one instance, the PCs were having a battle in 
which I was trying to use the "status" field, change 
initiatives as necessary, and use the "kill" 
functionality to remove opponents that had been killed 
from the display.  I had a few PC that had been 
feebleminded -- whe n I tried to remove 
the "feeblemind" status from one PC I wasn't able to, 
and every time I tried it retained that status AND 
brought the naga that had just died back from being 
killed.  That was VERY frustrating -- I was forced to 
go ahead and delete the nagas, rather than mark them 
killed -- which meant I couldn't use the experience 
feature, at least not as it's designed.  And, to try 
to avoid problems I closed and reloaded PCGen and 
GMGen between battles.

Ah, (1) is based on a PC, so this needs to be re-opened.

(2) is a user error, based on adding a combatant, then the focus for
"return" shifts to the "Start Battle" button.  Solution: Don't hit return! 
(This could use a confirmation if not a lot of stuff is dead, perhaps, but
that's a FREQ if a TM wants to do that)
