Does bug 0134391 mean that when I tried to edit a users address line 2, it was never saved?
Because I have trouble with that bug.

Also had lots of trouble with AOM changing prices of products when editing an order, so it's good to see that has been fixed.

I mean the bug that when you're in AOM, editing the 2nd address line of the customer (both billing + shipping) for that order does not work. I will test it after upgrading, but for now I have a bug with the upgrade:

After upgrading on my testserver, all the directories get an extra slash in the source, as such:

<script><script type="text/javascript" src="//skin/common_files/js/common.js"></script>

Both JS/CSS get this, which displays all pages without CSS/JS/images.

Before the upgrade to 4.6.5 (so on 4.6.4) that same piece looks like this on the live server:

</script><script type="text/javascript" src="/skin/common_files/js/common.js"></script>

The extra slash gives loads of errors loading JS and CSS and images on the page.

[aim]

Do you have the slash symbol at the end of $xcart_web_dir variable ?

aim-server[~/www/xcart_4_6_x]$ grep xcart_web_dir config.*
 * $xcart_web_dir - X-Cart web directory.
 * $xcart_web_dir ="/xcart";
 * $xcart_web_dir ="";
$xcart_web_dir ="/xcart";

No, no slash at the end of all 3 variables.

It happens while updating, as soon as the automatic patches are applied, the issue appears and the final patch overview (where it shows which hunks have been patched) the slashes are suddenly added.
