Ref.ly links in Microsoft Office on Windows
Beginning in v39 Beta 2, we added support to Logos to open ref.ly links directly without opening a browser tab. To do that, we registered Logos in Windows' "Apps for websites" function, which is Microsoft's recommended approach for tools to directly open links that would otherwise go to your web browser. Unfortunately, a…

BUG: Bible references change the font
I'm running Logos 32.0.29 on Mac Sonoma 14.3.1. I fully accept the possibility that I've changed something in settings (it if is, please direct me to the right spot), but can the programmers please flip the switch so that Bible references are not changed to a different font than is used in the note? It's just ugly, folks.…

Possible sync file corruption causing crash (40.0 Beta 1, WIN)
My laptop went into hibernation with the Logos app open. Ever since coming out of that, Logos crashes shortly after launching when online. (Clicking on a different tab in the same panel is all it takes to lock-up then close, though if I wait, it will crash on its own.) It does not crash if I work offline. I don't have any…

Read aloud doesn't read aloud; it just jumps around with indictators but no audio
With the new toolbar (or cmd-R) on the beta in Mac (running MacOS public beta), read aloud does not read aloud (except with Bible that has a recorded voice). When it is supposed to use the system reader, it just begins to jump through the text quickly flipping pages showing indicators but no audio playing.

Spell check in Sermon Builder
Is it possible to disable spell check in Sermon Builder? It's incredibly annoying if I'm writing in my language. Each word is underlined with a red wavy line (see picture). I don't hope you would extend Spell check to the Czech language. Therefore, I think this would be a very useful feature for anyone whose native…

Bugs in Media in Logos
There are so many quirks to Media. Some of them are legit bugs, I think. I'm currently trying to use some SQUARE aspect ratio slides. 1024x1024. The only way I can do this is by importing a square .PNG file and then placing slide elements on top of them. Here's the bugs: 1. The Sermon Builder display still shows the aspect…

Checking conditions for a Bible Search to switch from smart to precise mode
The release notes for Logos 40.0 beta 1 have: Bible Search will use the Smart search engine by default, unless you enter Precise search syntax. Entire query parses as a Bible reference.

Multiple Book View keyboard shortcut not working
As of yesterday, I can no longer use Command-Shift-M to toggle on and off the Multiple Book View.

I'm on a Mac but I believe its Ctrl-Shift-M on a PC.

Sermon Builder "Improved Passage Blocks" Comments
Logos Bible Study 38.0 Beta 1 38.0.502 (Update channel: beta) I REALLY like this idea! I never liked how passage blocks changed to quotes before when I wanted to bold some words for emphasis.

Why doesn't textual history know to switch to LXX
I tested with the NABRE to see if Logos recognized LXX in a book that is partially Hebrew and Aramaic based, then I tried NRSV to see if Logos recognized LXX in a pure case. It flunked both tests by failing to provide original language. Come on - you had to know I'd test this.

Why was Sacra Pagina replaced by the Lexham textual notes
Beta 2 added Lexham Textual Notes in the middle of my bibles, before my commentaries in the priority list. This caused my Sacra Pagina priority to be ignored. I removed LTN from the priority list, tried again and Logos still insisted on overriding me. This is not acceptable … or even close to it.
