1st occurrence.
On the install process of this module, it creates a "Guest Customer, **do not remove**" entry in the admin>customers>customers. When I checked on this Guest Customer I noticed it has orders in it from various people placing orders in my store using the guest checkout, so I assumed all guest orders would be recorded on that guest customer. However today we got an order from someone using the guest checkout, but this guest customer somehow got registered on the database as a normal customers registering for an account would, with its unique ID and all instead of using the Guest Customer as its entry. I thought maybe I had this customer registered already, but no, the account registration was created today while placing the order using guest checkout. So now I'm confused on how the module records the customer when placing an order using the guest checkout, is it using the Guest Customer in the database for it, or is it registering a new customer every time and somehow it was functioning improperly before? Haven't changed anything since installing the new store and this module other than cosmetic changes back in January before opening the store to the public. Any ideas why this happened?
2nd occurrence.
The second occurrence is related to the one above. The customer that placed the order using guest checkout whose account registered as a regular customer, had to enter its gender (male/female) for the form to process. However on my end, when checking the customer the salutation field is blank. It didn't record its gender in the database. Could I have stumbled on a bug?
Thanks for the help.
