"chequy"/"checky" tinctured reverse? And a few other remarks.

Can you provide an example blazon that demonstrates the problem?
Checky or and azure, a fess gules.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
That the upper left corner be or. It starts with azure instead.

What version of drawshield are you using?
2.2a3

What browser and version where you using to view the shield? Does the
problem also occur on other browsers?
Firefox, yes.

Please provide any additional information below.
"Chequy of nine pieces or and azure" produces no output (Geneva.)
"gules, a fess checky or and azure" produces a weirdly clipped chequy.
"gules, a fess compony or and azure" produces a fess compony, yet again of 
swapped tinctures.
"gules, a fess counter-compony or and azure" again of swapped tinctures, and 
the counter-compony is not square in divisions.

"Chequy," "Checky," "Checquer-bearing:" terms applied to a field or charge 
divided by perpendicular and horizontal lines, into small squares of metal and 
colour alternately. There should be at least twenty squares in the shield. If 
less, the number is named (as in the shield of Toledo, where there are 15). 
When only 9, with the French heralds the terms "equipollé" is applied. (but 
see above the blazon of Geneva)
  This pattern is said by some to be derived from the game of chess, which if not originally introduced into Europe by the Crusaders was certainly revived by them. Others, however, with greater probably derived it from the steward's or "chequer" board. In the Exchequer of the kingdom, and the Chancellor of that department, the word is still retained; and the "Checkers," a frequent sign of small inns, with the board painted in squares on the outside, still hands down the tradition of the account board. It is not, however, impossible that this board gave the name to the game of chess played upon it.
  While the number of pieces in the field must be, as already said, as least twenty, a fesse or other ordinary when blazoned chequy must contain three rows of squares, for if there be but one, the ordinary will be "compony," and if but two, "counter-compony." At the same time the field may have but two rows in chief of a fesse, for so the arms of Lord Clifford are represented in the glass windows at Dorchester, Hasely, &c.
  When a bend, chevron, or saltire is checquy, the square are not placed perpendicularly, but slanting in the direction of the ordinary. ("Gules, a chevron chequy or and azure" thus also produces an improper output, and so does saltire.)
  At the same time there are some peculiar forms which may be noted. "Chequy in perspective argent and sable." - Prospect. "Chequy of lines palewise and chevronwise gules and or." - Spotworth
