Given how painful this ID is to enter, I'm not sure this is terrible, but
admittedly it's not consistent. I'll try to figure out what's happening
there.

What the heck? That is not a font that we set. OK, more debugging needed.

Oh, just like I was answering you at 3:30am...

So if the dive computer gives us dive numbers, we take them and don't
override them. I think for post 4.5 we should change that because that's
just bogus. But too late to change now. I cannot imagine a scenario where
I have numbered my dives in Subsurface, download dives from a dive
computer and then want the dive numbers that the dive computer gave us.
Yes, if there are no dives in the dive file this might make sense, but
other than that? I don't think so.

Interesting. Another thing to fix.

Can you create a screen cast for that? If I add cylinders they are always
completely empty, so a fixed O2 value of 21 or air...

Thanks
