While Logos is open, and I'm working in other applications, dialog boxes from Logos popup over the active application.
There are no doubt lots of bugs in the Mac Logos app, but this one is the most annoying! Anyone have a fix?
I also experience this almost daily. Is this a known issue that is just difficult to fix, or is this new to the devs?
It's been there for more than two years. They always believe it's fixed, and we always tell them it's not.
It has never happened to me but then I don't have a Mac.
I have never experienced this but then I always open L4Mac in its own workspace using Spaces.
Every blessing

I can confirm this behaviour.
Every time I open Logos on my Mac, then switch to another application while it boots up, a hover over pop-up box from my Logos home screen covers part of my active application when Logos nears boot up completion. I then need to switch to Logos, clear the pop-up box, then resume what I was doing in the other application. Nothing else seems to make it go away!
EDIT - This is what I typically see when I click to start Logos and then switch to another application. The Logos pop-up window intrudes over the other application's pane:
For those of you that are seeing this bug:
What operating system are you running?
Do you have specific reproduction steps that always cause this issue?
LOL [Y][A]
I am running 10.8.2; I have seen it, however, on 10.7 builds. It happens more often on my iMac, which sometimes has a secondary monitor attached. I vaguely remember someone thinking that might have had something to do with it.
10.6.8
Except for one or two cases long ago that have been fixed, it has always seemed very random to me.
That said, it's been many many months now since I saw a Logos popup on top of another program. Even within Logos, the 'sticky' ones have become much rarer, though I did catch this a month ago (I think I managed to get rid of it without restarting, eventually):
But most of the time now, it's 'just' normal popups that take several seconds more than they should to disappear. Better than having to restart, but it does waste time to have to sit waiting for them.
By this time, though, my absolutely worst popup annoyance is the Library popups. Please please please change it so that only the book covers give popups upon hovering. It's virtually impossible to work in the Library. There's always a popup on top of what you want to read.
Number two would be that note icon popups don't behave like footnote number popups.
Number three would be the fact that you can't drag in the lower right corner to resize, combined with the fact that some popups show up so long that the bottom is below the screen and can't be read.

Hi Brisa,
I'm running OS 10.8.2.
I DO have multiple (2) screens running (a 23" Cinema Display and 15" Retina Laptop Display). This seems to happen when I initially open Logos and switch to another application as it loads. Many times this happens when I see that I have updates. I switch so as to maximize my time, then all of a sudden I have a descriptive popup.
.
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this thread.
I will pass this suggestion on to the Development department.
Could you explain more specifically what you mean?

Thank you!

If you see an interesting link in a footnote popup, you can click on the footnote number, and the popup becomes 'sticky', and allows you to hover on the link and see what it says.
If you see an interesting link in the popup when you hover on a note icon, you can't do that. There is no way to get it 'sticky'. You have to open the note file, and hover on the link from there.

There are a number of threads complaining about this inconsistency, but I don't think Logos has ever commented on any of them.

The most typical culprit is the ECF volumes, both in the Library popups, and in popups from links to them in other resources, but occasionally it happens with other books as well. Here's the first I found right now:
Here's another one from the following paragraph:
Here's an ECF volume in the Library, but it doesn't look at all like it has in the past:
The problem with the text being cut off is still there, but now there's suddenly a number of other problems as well:
When are you going to make popups [automatically and manually] resizable and movable? That would take care of a number of popup issues.
Furthermore, all Library popups now seem disabled when the Info is open. OK, I did want fewer popups, but I didn't say none.[:)] I do want them from the book cover. Now I'm having a hard time comparing the popup with the Info, which I needed for this post, and I will also have problems when I've selected several resources for tagging, and then want to see the info for one of them.
And then, of course, investigating this also made me find several resource specific popup issues.[:(] I'll go and write up a bug report about them, and add a link here later. EDIT: BUGS: Popup issues in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
