Topic: XTM replaces my translation with MT

Post title: More woes
So, it turns out that XTM doesn't auto-propagate translations into segments that already have content, even if those segments are not confirmed. This means that where repetitions are concerned, my correct translations are not propagated into the pre-translated machine-translated segments. I get paid for 5000 words but the job has 25000 words... due to all the repetitions, but the repetitions don't propagate because the segments are pre-translated with machine translations.
And more: sometimes, it auto-propagates a fuzzy match, but there is no way of knowing that it propagated a fuzzy match or an exact match. This means that even if I know that a translation is mine (the machine translation uses familiar form of address; I use polite form of address), I can't trust it. And I've even encountered CONFIRMED unedited fuzzy matches (these are of my own translations, but I did not confirm them)!
