9c2e3768ec user manual: re-correct pSCR wording
Unsure where and why this got changed in the update to 4.7.

In pSCR world, the gas that is currently driving the rebreater is
called a "driving gas". This is not per definition backgas, as any
gas can be plugged in by means of a swichblock.

Further. The gas that is trown away (typically 10%) is released
from the unit at inhale of the diver. Yes, this may sound weird
to the average OC diver, but it is like that. It's by design.

All this wisdom from a GUE trained RB80 diver :-)

e903c6bd1a Paragraph in manual about off-gassing
The VPM-B model assumes off-gassing only happens during ascent
which for us are that part of the dive where dp->entered is
false. This is wrong for dives with manually entered waypoints
in the ascent, as discussed in

See #601.

ede5e70c54 user manual: pSCR diving is similar to OC, not CCR
See also commit acb38c9e00. pSCR is with respect to cylinder planning very
similar to OC planning. Obviously, the SAC is much (max. 8x for counterlung
ration 1:10) lower, but multiple gasses are common (in all but recreational
pSCR diving).

Changed the wording to reflect this.

97f7de6165 user manual: weird and incorrect paragraph
from the planner section the follwing paragraph is weird and partially incorrect:

These changes should reflect the cylinders and gas compositions defined in the table
with _Available Gases_. If two or more gases are used, automatic gas switches will be
suggested during the ascent to the surface. These changes can be deleted by
right-clicking the gas change and manually creating a gas change by right-clicking
on the appropriate waypoint.

Yes: during the ascent, gas switches are automatically planned (not suggested). These
can't be deleted by right-clicking (as there are no real waypoints associated with
the gas switches). And futher. To delete a gas change you have to manually create one?

Solution: refrase paragraph.

ad62d8a731 user manual: TTS does not depend on SAC
This one little sentence confuses me: TTS is calculated assuming an ascent
surface air consumption (SAC) for the gas currently used.

Time to surface is a decompression + ascent time calculation only. Obviously, the diver
should plan to have suffient gas for this, but TTS is not a function of SAC. There is
the "remaining air time, RAT) some dive computers can calculate which uses TTS in
combination with SAC to assist the diver to start his ascent, but RAT != TTS.

Solution: remove the confusing sentence.

3c2aaaf29c user manual: info box does not change
The info box for the dive profile is said to change to minimal when the
mouse pointer is outside the profile window. Testing this in 4.6.3 shows
that this is not the case. The info box does not change on window leave
of the pointer.

It might have worked that way before, but it is no big deal, so better to
