The 8, 15, and 22 (octave changers) in the Lines palette gives the wrong tooltips.

This was discussed and the "ma" after the number is like "nd" or "th" after a number in English. Your explanation field supports this. "mb" and "ma" are both acceptable in notation and Gould prefers "ma" so we use "ma"
why? The va is from the ottava and needs an alta/bassa, the ma us from the quindicesima, etc.
8vb alta is wrong though needs to be 8va alta, but I believe that has been fixed meanwhile
Maybe it is not in your translation?

Maybe I'm still in the old system.

I can't prove it :D

ottava alta
ottava bassa
quindicesima alta
quindicesima bassa
ventiduesima alta
ventiduesima bassa

If Elaine Gould wants to learn from me, I'd be happy to help :)
Even the fact that the numbers 15 and 22 are universal accepted by musicians and music academies, the real sound physics tells us it should be 16 and 32, respectively.
I really don't remember why we still use 15 and 22 (some historic reason, I guess).

No, 15 and 22 is correct. A 16th is an octave and a second higher/lower. A 32nd is 4 octaves and a fourth higher/lower. The numbers are referring to intervals, not the ratios between frequencies.

I think 22mb & 22ma should be added
