Bug: Info Feature Displays the Wrong Hebrew and Greek Lemmas

Description – After selecting a word in a Hebrew or Greek Bible (e.g., LHB or NA27 w/ apparatus), the info feature displays the wrong lemma. The Bible Word Study feature then looks up that wrong lemma.

Below I am posting screenshots with at least two types of errors. The yellow ones (in Hebrew bibles) follow a vertical line in the text. For these, the info feature tends to display the lemma for preceding word. The blue ones (in Hebrew bibles) tend to occur on words having a pronominal suffix and often preceded by a preposition. For these, as I recall, the info feature tends to look up the lemma for the pronominal suffix. These errors are prevalent and, I believe, occur in various Hebrew Bibles, although my examples come from the LHB (LLS:LHB 2014-03-25T21:49:24Z) with just a couple from the NA27 (LLS:1.0.332 2012-07-11T17:02:35Z).

These problems definitely are not new, so I hope these examples help resolve them! Thanks for the great work on the Bible app.

Thanks Adam for the excellent bug report! This is a known issue that was written up a few weeks ago - I'll add your post to the existing case. Unfortunately I don't have an ETA for when it will be fixed.

This will be fixed in the 4.2.5 beta.

Thanks for the update, Gabe. I updated to 4.2.5 beta and can confirm that it is partially but not entirely fixed.

With respect to Hebrew, the yellow ones are resolved in all cases except for the word פי in Psalm 19:15. For this word, the info feature displays the lemma for the pronominal suffix י (translated "my") rather than the lemma for the content word פה (translated "mouth"). The blue ones are unresolved in all cases (including Ps 20:10; Isa 2:19, 21, 22; 3:12, 14). The Greek ones are also unresolved in all cases.

Thanks for the beta feedback Adam. I'll see what's going on in the additional cases and if I can't make additional corrections or atleast make sure it doesn't regress cases that were working properly to begin with.
