"fimbriated" and "ermine" together produce faulty output; annulets overlap the chevron and are of different sizes; some other "fimbriated" things #178

Can you provide an example blazon that demonstrates the problem?
Argent, a chevron ermine fimbriated sable, between annulets gules.
Sable, a dolphin embowed argent fimbriated or.
Quarterly or and azure, over all a cross calvary on three grieces or steps 
sable fimbriated of the first. (This produces a very weird quarterly look, I 
take it tries to satisfy as much of the blazon as possible -- unfortunately, it 
is not the quarters or a cross laid upon them that are to be fimbriated. I 
think even the attached image is not in all respects correct, though.) An 
alternative blazon of it: "Quarterly or and azure, over all on a griece of 
three steps a holy cross, all of the first fulfylled sable (i.e. sable 
fimbriated gold)."
Argent, a plain chevron sable, fimbriated and engrailed azure. ("plain" is not 
tolerated in the blazon by the current version, but even when removing, the 
output is faulty.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
attached; The field is curiously squared (I assume it takes every single 
rectangle of the "ermine" basic pattern and fimbriates all instances, just for 
good measure -- it shouldn't, though.) The ermine spots are also visually 
distorted, probably also due to fimbriation. With using simply the term 
"annulets," there are none appearing (I am unsure if this should be understood 
by the program when the number if not specified), if using "between two 
annulets," the annulets are of different size (does not look neat, although not 
neccessarily a defect,) and the upper one overlaps the chevron, which is not an 
expected behaviour with "between."

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.
  I have already mentioned "fimbriated" in issue 19, it seems it is a term that is harder to handle than previously thought.
  "Fimbriated:" said by strict heralds to be applied only to an ordinary or other charge having a narrow edging of some other tincture all round it, so that if any part touches the outer edging of the shield without the border being continued in that part the term should not be applied, but the term "edged" instead. This distinction, however, is never adhered to in practice. The crosses, for instance, in what is termed the Union Jack are always blazoned as "fimbriated," and many other examples might be cited. When applied to the dolphin is probably only extends along the dorsal ridge.
