Bug Description

Ubuntu Manual/maverick or lucid-e2

Page 59 / middle

"...``Last 7 days,'' ``This month,'' the past 6 months (listed month by month), and finally ``Older than 6 months.''..."

In Firefox version 3.6.9, today, the list shows the 4 past months after the current and nothing else following.
>>
"...``Last 7 days,'' ``This month,'' the following past 4 months (listed month by month).''

After reflection, my web browser is installed since may, so this is probably the reason.
Excuse me and disregard my bug report.

I come again. Ubuntu Manual is for Ubuntu beginners. So Firefox is installed since few days. The browsing history will not display all named categories in the sentence #625. It is puzzling for a beginner.

Revision 43 doesn't appear to fix this bug and only introduces new bugs -- namely, the punctuation should be inside the quotation marks. (It's an American thing.)

Kevin,

I didn't realise that in american english that commas are located in
the speech marks. I thought that was another error.

I will adjust it back.

With regard to the original bug. That was fixed at the same time. I
added an additional sentence to clarify.

Thanks
Chris
