[daisy] BUG(s)? two different links to edit navigation document

[Karel Vervaeke]

A site always uses the same variant for the navigation document, which
is in the default branch and language specified in the siteconf.xml.
When you visit [0], the edit link under the navigation always lets you
edit the navigation document for that site (i.e. the variant in the
default branch and language).  

The 'Actions -> Edit' link lets you edit the document you are currently
viewing.  This has nothing to do with the navigation document.

Perhaps you are getting confused because of site switching (or lack
thereof).  Normally when you have two sites (say one English and one
Portuguese), site switching takes place: Daisy tries to show the
document in the site that is most suitable (see [1] for more info).
This means that when there is no suitable site, Daisy stays in the
current site (and hence the navigation document does not follow the site
of the active document).

(§ site-search algorithm)

The most common reasons for site switching not to take place are
* there is only one site, or
* site switching has been disabled (in siteconf.xml)

I believe this explains both problems you are experiencing (If I
understand them correctly).

HTH,
