Fighter bonuses and special items

How exactly does merge fighter bonus with special weapons?

These items are enchantment bonus, thus + AB increases also damage? And is the +1/2/3 damage improving that further? Like +4 enchantment weapon becomes +6 with + 8 damage?

If I'm not wrong: if it's an AB increase it stacks, along with enchantment increase. Things like bonuses versus specific ( Racial, alignment etc. ) do not. So having 5 fighter levels should give your 2AC standard and 5AC versus evil a 3AC standard 5AC versus evil bonus.

As for weapons, enchanted +3 becomes enchanted +4 ( With 23 fighter levels and so on ). Bonus + 3 becomes Bonus +4AB and 1 damage. In masterly damask's case, having 23 fighter levels should upgrade your weapon from +3AB 6damage to +4AB 7damage. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: Same applies with racial, etc. +5 versus dragon shouldn't turn into +7 on a 25 fighter. It simply gives you +2 enchantment vs everything else ( if the weapon only has +5 versus dragon ). Again, this may have been changed recently.
