semicolons (or some sort of punctuation) seem broken #5

Can you provide an example blazon that demonstrates the problem?

quartered 
first and fourth azure semy of bees or; 
second gules, three tigers or; 
third argent a unicorn gules; 
overall on a bend vert fimbriated argent, a thistle between two clarions or
 -- The Greater Kingdoms of United Albion

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

As blazoned above, I see only the 1st and 4th. If I turn the first
semicolon into a comma, everything appears, but the bend appears over the
third quarter, not overall

What version of drawshield are you using?

2.2a2

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

It occurs in both Safari 4.0.5 and Firefox 3.6.3

Please provide any additional information below.

2.1e5 produced this:

from "quartered, first and fourth azure semy of bees or; second gules,
three tigers or; third argent, a unicorn gules; overall on a bend vert
fimbriated argent, a thistle between two clarions or -- The Greater
Kingdoms of United Albion", I believe, though I'm not certain that is the
precise punctuation I used.

Thanks, I'm sure you are right, I will look into it - heraldic punctuation is 
generally not very consistent but in this case the intention is pretty clear.

Fixed and regression tested, will be in release 2.2a3.
There were two related errors, the semi-colon was not being looked for at the 
end of "semy de something" and was not being take into account if it occurred 
*before" overall. The example given is now drawn correctly, and if the final 
semi-colon is removed then the "overall" is placed over the third quarter only, 
which (whether it is heraldically correct or not!) is how I want to behave.
