Sorry, it is "extracomment". Designer changed the comment to 
"disambiguation" (which is still "comment" in the .ui), and what is now 
called "comment" is really "extracomment" (in the .ui). Just don't ask 
me how that gets extracted :-).

I suppose I would have to understand one of these languages to 
understand how something that is a verb in the UI can become an 
adjective. Hmm... on second thought I guess it can be okay, but I'm 
still just a touch worried that you are (possibly) effectively changing 
the intent of the UI.

I want to vote for a Conservative Democrat. Too bad they're about as

along that's both.
