BA OLCI seems impossible with 17+ segments
As I invariably have more than 16 segments on my RTWs I have always been issued with paper tickets. As a result I have never once been able to use BA's online check-in - not once. It appears the system can't cope with more than 16 flights even though the Manage My Booking page brings up the entire itinerary. Choosing seats is slightly less of a problem, though it's never as easy as when I have a regular European return ticket entirely on BA.
Has anyone else successfully used OLCI with a paper ticket with more than 16 segments?

I couldn't select seats or check in online for my DONE5 ex-CAI last year and that was issued by BA.
It was re-issued 3 times in total I think - the final time being by BA in SCL and it was re-issued as an e-ticket with about 9 segments left, curiously it worked fine then.
Not too sure why Manage My Booking seemed so reluctant to err.... MMB!
YMMV

The ticket recently issued by CX also shows loads of things greyed out including OLCI and "change date/time" which the ticket, of course, allows. Can choose seats, though.

I had no problems changing a flight from AA to BA 14 hours before departure. Five minutes after getting off the phone to AA RTW desk to make the change I was able to logon to BA.com and OLCI for the flight.

I initially had problems with BA OLCI with a 20-segment paper ticket issued by AA. A call to the BA RTW desk fixed some kind of format problem with the ticket numbers, and then I had no problems from there on.
