Summary0005300: Meaning of "Use overlap equivalency for regions" could be clarified
DescriptionI think the meaning of this setting could be made clearer by rephrasing the description, and having a drop-down list of text describing what each setting does.

Maybe something like:
"Regions in active edit groups are edited together:"
    - "whenever they overlap in time"
    - "only when they have identical length & position"
TagsNo tags attached.

done. thanks for the suggestions (though translators might not be as appreciative :)

Thanks, that does clarify things, though what I meant originally was actually changing the control to a BoolComboOption with the text on it. This kind of thing:

- bo = new BoolOption (
+ bco = new BoolComboOption (
              "use-overlap-equivalency",
- _("Use overlap equivalency for regions"),
+ _("Regions in active edit groups are edited together"),
+ _("whenever they overlap in time"),
+ _("only when they have identical length & position"),
              sigc::mem_fun (*_rc_config, &RCConfiguration::get_use_overlap_equivalency),
              sigc::mem_fun (*_rc_config, &RCConfiguration::set_use_overlap_equivalency)
              );
 
I think that would be clearer still, but maybe it's just too much translation churn at this stage :)
