[Bug 585292] [NEW] Comma splice on p.19

 

Public bug reported:

Rev. 788
Ch.1, § "Log in automatically", p. 19 (PDF p. 21)
Type: grammar

Manual has a comma splice (before "however"):
This makes your login experience quicker and more convenient, however, if privacy or security are important to you, this option is not recommended.

Either the comma before "however" should be a full stop or semicolon, or the appropriate conjunction, "but", should be employed:
This makes your login experience quicker and more convenient, but if privacy or security are important to you, this option is not recommended.
