If that doesn't work, then something odd is going on, but following the instructions in FAQ entry #3 should take care of it. I'd try manually deleting the gca.ini first, so you don't lose your sheet options settings. If you're not worried about your sheet settings, just use the GCAClearAppData utility mentioned in the FAQ entry. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you could always edit your gca.ini by hand—while GCA isn't running, of course. Look under the [RunOptions] section and change the values of the NoAutoRecalc and NoCalcSecondaryFeatures options to 0 (zero). For example: Code:
NoAutoRecalc=0 NoCalcSecondaryFeatures=0

Second, I recall experimenting with trying to make this kind of bonus also apply to Parry and couldn't get it to work reliably (sure, you can very easily give +1 to Parry, but +1/2 to Parry becomes an issue). So I decided to leave well enough alone.

Re: GURPS GCA4 Errata
A general bonus to skillscore, on the other hand, seems to work fine (See also the Weapon Focus perk/modifier, which seems to work for affecting Parry as well as tohit).

Re: GURPS GCA4 Errata
Actually, finally getting a chance to look at the ~Accuracy modifier it looks like I did work out the issues, or am misremembering what the exact issue I had was. I currently have the modifier set up specifically so that it is adding to the 'to hit' and subtracting from the 'parry' of the weapon; so I purposely went out of my way to set up the modifier so that it wouldn't affect the parry score.
And, again, by my reading that's how it's supposed to work anyway. Compare to, say, the Quality (Balanced) modifier from Low-Tech p. 59 which specifically states it gives '+1 to skill with any melee weapon' and not just '+1 to hit.' The same holds true for Weapon Bond (numerous books) which gives '+1 to skill with one weapon.'

Re: GURPS GCA4 Errata
Thanks for the official word! I do think that putting together the notes from those different books could be logically interpreted more than one way. Perhaps it could be clarified in future editions.
