Continuation lines ... are not continued on following systems (?)

• May 17, 2018 - 16:21

In the section of the manual, under the first picture is the statement

"Continuation lines are drawn for the whole duration of the figured bass group (but currently are not continued on following systems, the same as for lyric continuation lines)"

In testing this does not seem to be the case. Continuation lines seem to wrap to the next system when entered so they continue to the next measure and the next measure is on a different system. Am I misunderstanding what this says, or does the parenthesis need to just be deleted or a note telling which version changed this?

In the old days, melisma lines for lyrics did indeed fail to continue across systems, and I don't doubt this applied to figured bass too This bug was fixed years ago, though - see #3961: Melisma line over system break. At least for lyrics. Not sure about figured bass; I'm still not totally comfortable with how continuation lines work and could easily be doing things wrong.
