Changing abSumm or CustDesc doesn't change hover text or PDF printout

This problem is present in both d20 and Pathfinder data sets.

If you have an object (say a Feat) and it's text in the editor under Descriptive Text is set to one thing but you make a script to modify that text via changing either abSumm (xSumm in d20) or CustDesc, these changes show up in the specials text but do not show up in the ? pop up window and also when printing the printout uses the original (non-modified) text.
 
Ah, risner. at least in d20 I know that you can change the popup of the CustDesc if you set it in an eval script at Render 100. I don't know if this works with the pdf.

So I tested this out just now in D20 (it seemed to behave the same in Pathfinder so I didn't also try Pathfinder.)

Interesting, so Render/100 is "before" First/100? Or to put it another way, it seems any changes not at Render are ignored when rendering?

Anyway, I changed xSumm and CustDesc and neither showed up on the printout.

So this shoots down a whole lot of my planned changes. If I consolidate a lot of abilities, the printout will be printing the generic info.
