CRASH: Diagramming Tool
Logos 9.2 Beta 2 Mac OS 11.0.1 Moving text from inserted text to a position on the diagram. Logos disappeared to be replaced by the Apple Crash report. 2134.Apple Crash.rtf 3107.LogosLogs.jackcav.20201219-152203.zip Been a while since I used this tool, but it seems that I had the same experience back in Logos 7/8.
BUG - Logos crashes when deleting an image used in a highlight
MacBook Air M1, Big Sur 11.1 • Logos 9.2 Beta 2, 9.2.0.0005 - - - - - - - - - - - - - I created a highlight style that used an image, and then didn't care for the image I used. I went to delete the image (not the highlight) and Logos went away. I tried a second time, and it happened again. I made a screen capture to show…
BUG: BWS invoked on gloss but not lemma
In Wu, Andi, and Randall Tan. 2010. Cascadia Syntax Graphs of the New Testament: SBL Edition. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press. a Context Menu on the Greek Lemma does not suggest a Bible Word Study. However, the Context Menu on a English gloss does suggest a BWS. This seems strange or backwards to me. Is this really intended…

BUG: Clause participant guide builds silly search argument.
Why is the meaningless text argument (red) build rather than a semi-reasonable clause search (green)? Please correct. a similar problem exists at the detail level.
Bug: Reading Status unchangeable for books Not on This Device
I read a FL ebook. Then I removed it from my device. Eventually I noticed that it was not showing 100% read in my Library. Then I tried to fix that using "Mark resource as read". Nothing. Then I tried "Reset reading progress". Still nothing.

BUG? or SUGGESTION? Faithlife assistant on labels
Faithlife Assistant recognizes Figurative language quite well but I can't get it to recognize Figure of Speech. Is this a bug or a feature I should request?
Documentation Bug Atrocity: Removal of documentation for existent feature.
This segment of Help appears to have been deleted from the 2020 edition: [quote] Bullinger’s Figures of Speech This dataset ships a bundle of Figure of Speech labels that mirror information found in Figures of Speech Used in the Bible by E.

Error in resource metadata ,,, or does someone out there actually have an SBL edition glossary?
My glossary does not state SBL edition: * Lukaszewski, Albert L., Mark Dubis, and J. Ted Blakley. 2011. The Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament: SBL Edition. Lexham Press. I suspect an error in the blurb above or, less likely, in the distribution. Am I missing a glossary I should have?

Update interactive data issue - Systematic Theology
Systematic theology is not my primary interest but my library still has 230 books of type: Systematic Theology. However, my Systematic Theologies interactive has only 185 resources.

[BUG] Passage Guide
I experienced some unusual things when looking at commentaries in the passage guide. The above screenshot shows on the left the commentary NDSB (together with many other commentaries) under the section "Commentaries" using my collection "Commentaries (Textual)". However, on the right, the commentary is not included in the…

BUG or intentional: chiasm vs. strophe
In the Psalm Explorer, on a detail psalm in structure format, a chiasm has faded text and lines showing the structure. On mouse-over, these turn blue and readable. However, when the structure is strophic, the faded text and lines do not turn blue and become readable. They are inactive. Is this intentional?

The new "All the...in the Bible" resources and datasets

BUG: Duplicate entry on Context Menu for LST
on the resource LST/Creation I get a duplicate entry in the context menu
INCONSISTENCY or BUG: Passage count for same facet differs between Bible Browser and Proverbs Explor
The Proverbs Explorer counts 19 occurrences of Ode to Wisdom while the Bible Browser counts only 17. This is because, for example, Proverbs 8:1-11 and Proverbs 8:12-21 are treated as separate in the Explorer but as a single passage in the Bible Browser. This inconsistency is a nuisance when trying to find all the passages…
BUG: Library misbehavior aka when is new not new
See Upcoming resource releases - you may already own these for a list of the resources involved.

[ACK] BUG/REGRESSION: 6.4 Beta 4: Can no longer "Close all windows" on Logos (Win 7)
It used to be that from within Windows (v7) I could easily close down Logos if I was running low on memory by right-clicking on the Logos icon on my task bar and choosing "Close all windows" -- this would be the option (rather than "Close window") most of the time for me, because I always run with my Library maximized in a…
Shouldn't https://feedback.faithlife.com/ know 9.1 is released
Shouldn't Roadmap | Faithlife Feedback be updated to reflect 9.1 ... or did it offer nothing that was requested?

BUG or a feature to keep me puzzled? Range in Inline search
* I click on the range to set it via the drop down menu. * I scroll down to Common Divisions and select Old Testament (using the NRSV) * I see Old Testament flash before it is replaced by the Saved range of Canon:Tanakh * Note OT for the NRSV is not actually the same as Canon: Tanakh ...

BUG: coding of oak in Gen 12:6
I am puzzled as to why Gen 12:6 is not found in this search: Looking at the RVI it looks as if oak should be selected but the context menu shows only the compound for place not oak in its own right This makes it difficult to determine the connotation of "oak" or to trust statistics on the lemma.
BUG: Preaching Theme Manual
Follow-up to thread => How to make a particular Search was trying to create a search of Preaching Theme for God's Grace. Manual has God: Grace while Logos 9.1 Beta 4 has God's Grace spelling (like the change from colon to apostrophe s, but not like documentation mismatch). An awesome documentation improvement would be a…
DATA bug: Text of Jeremiah 18:18 misclassified
In selecting the Literary Type: Psalm, Complaint I expected the text of Jeremiah 18:19-23 to be considered the psalm/complaint. I did not expect Jeremiah 18:18 which is the plotting against Jeremiah to be included. Am I correct that this is an error in classification?
BUG: Paragraph analysis on Inline search
It is my understanding that a stanza is the metered text equivalent to a prose paragraph. Should the poem not be broken into stanzas, then entire poem is treated as a stanza ... I've never seen individual lines all treated as separate paragraphs - especially discombobulating when it disrupts the parallelism structures.

BUG: Missing Lookup option in Context Menu for Commands in the Bible
For consistency, there should be a lookup function that accesses Thompson, Jeremy. 2017. Commands in the Bible Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife. in the Context Menu for the Commands tab.
Is this intentional or a bug? overkill on lookup
Is it intentional that journals be included in the Look up list? I hope not.
[BUG]: Missing search button
I tried out a search template and the button to start the search is missing: I am using the newest Beta on Mac.
DATA BUG: In what sense is a courtyard or palace a tent?
Is the inclusion of "court (royal)" under "tent" an error in this case?
BUG: Help provides bad advice
The suggested <Event The Israelites cross the Red Sea> generates no results. One must use {Section <Event The Israelites cross the Red Sea>} to obtain the results indicated.
BUG: Cannot select Passage List to Merge
I am unable to enter or select a file for the Passage List merge - dead in water. 0066.VerbumIndexer.zip
BUG: Bible browser bug is broader than generally reported.
The inability to select headings as a facet in the Bible Browser has been reported multiple times with the inability to select Old Testament, New Testament, Apocrypha/Deuterocanon ... However, the need to be able to select headings is broader - try to find all instances of Abraham speaking to God. Abraham as speaker is not…
BUG: Garbage results in results
Superset in sense fails to find the "this sense" i.e. the sense specified.

What Does the Olivet Discourse Predict? | Mark Strauss on Mark 13
The Olivet Discourse has puzzled interpreters for centuries. Is Jesus predicting the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, his future return, or both? Dr. Mark Strauss joins Kirk E. Miller on What in the Word? to explore this complex passage. They examine its structure, exegetical issues, and interpretive options—futurist (dispensationalist), preterist, and telescoping views.
