Manual data entry

Wed Jun 26 10:00:37 PDT 2019

If I understand you correctly this is a bug. Please record the version 
number by going Help-> about Subsurface, send a few screenshots to 
https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/issues and log a bug. I 
have no problems with my version. Perhaps its worth seeing if you have 
the very latest .dmg of Subsurface. Unfortunately I cannot replicate 
this problem.
Kind regards,
willem
