CRASH: Priotization
Logos 9.3 Beta1 Mac OS 11.0.1 Opened Prioritize in a floating Library window and changed the priority of KJV 1900 from the top position down one step below NKJV. Received the same crash two days ago when moving KJV 1900 from fourth or fifth to first. On both occasions, Logos crashed when this movement was complete and the…

BUG: Strange freezing/truncation of resource information panel in library
On resources such as 5Q7 Lamentations B. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2010. which shows no collection in the information panel in the library, the information panel will scroll or expand no further than the collection section. Unfortunately, I want to see the field section which is unaccessible.
BUG or misunderstanding? Fields in drop down menu
Using a temporary collection of type:Bible I copied the field options provided in the drop down selection menu. I understood this to be a complete list of the fields available in my library for type:Bible. However, the following fields occur in type:Bible information panel but not in the drop down menu: * author * Bible…

I'm not finding this beta feature
* Added a link to “Discuss this feature” to the Panel Menu that links to a Faithlife group. But I am finding what appears to be a new link to Verbum HELP.
Question re: All the Altars in the Bible, All the Meals in the Bible etc.
Just a question not a suggestion: Resources such as the documentation for accents point the user to a particular Faithlife group i.e. Greek Grammatical Constructions. Should this Factbook oriented resources also point to a Faithlife group?
BUG: duplicate choice in command box
Note the apparent duplicate entry in Guide - they need a distinguishing attribute as one is for topic and the other for Bible reference.
Kyle, Philana: BUGS galore without a response that this beta may care about
Two or three weeks ago, about the same time as responses to bug reports from FL slowed down dramatically (well deserved vacations I hope), I reported that the dates in many annual study guides were coded without the year. This leads to logical #$%# where it appears that the fact it is Sept 6 is the relevant information…
CRASH: 9.2.0.0014 - Just using the media tool!
This was a very sudden crash for no apparent reason. I was looking up Solomon's Portico - first in Factbook, then in Media Tool. Logos didn't hang, just crashed very abruptly. 8228.210128_Logos Crash.zip

Greek and Hebrew within notes
I cannot find any way to change the virtual keyboard to Greek or Hebrew while writing a note. This would be a very useful feature that I would expect to see on the note editor toolbar. It is wonderful for searches and browsing in lexicons. I know I can install a virtual keyboard in the operating system, but it would be…
BUG ? Bible Sense Lexicon ambiguity of ?
Found <Sense Person> is in Bible Sense Lexicon twice as a child of: * <Sense causal agency> * <Sense living thing> All the children senses of <Sense Person> are the same for both parents. Keep Smiling [:)]
Data bug/inconsistency re: outlines
Case used to identify the problem: Thompson, J. A. 1, 2 Chronicles. Vol. 9. The New American Commentary. Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 1994. Notice that this screenshot documents two occurrences of the label for Factbook: * {Label Content WHERE Reference ~ <1 Ch> AND Subcategory ~ "Outline"} * {Label Content…
BUG: Lexicon Tab Text disappears in Dark Mode
Follow-up to thread => Dark Mode text unreadable reply: Opened Bible Word Study (BWS) followed by opening Lemma links. When a Tab has focus, then abbreviated title appears, but clicking BWS Tab leaves a Dark area in Logos 9.2.0.0014 on macOS Big Sur 11.1 Keep Smiling [:)]
BUG? Longacre genre overkill in Context Menu
I realize one is a label and one a datatype but is it intentional to show the Longacre genre twice in the Context Menu?
BUG? Copy & Paste from Sermon Doc to Sermon Doc
It seems that the Sermon Editor adds bullet points when copying and pasting several paragraphs from another Sermon Document. It doesn't appear to do that text copied from other sources. Not sure if this is known bug (do people often copy from one Sermon Doc to another!?) but thought I'd flag it just in case.
Questions/Bugs re: Book guide/book supplemental material documentation
* {Label Additional Information} returns results but I can't find any subcategory documentation. * {Label Events} is documented but I can't find any examples * {Label BookGuide} appears in the Context Menu but with undocumented attributes. Is it's presence intended ... if so, where is the documentation.
BUG: unable to capture popup on screen shot
* Open Bible Outline Browser * Set to Compare view * Set passage to Mark 1:1-8 * Set Bible to NRSV * On a two level entry, hover and you'll see two levels of the outline shown * Hit print screen ... popup closes before screen shot selection opens. The is unlike the behavior in most of the system in which the popup remains…
BUG: Missing Copy reference entry in action side of Context Menu
The Copy reference entry is available for most Context Menu entries -- I use it heavily. However, it is missing for {Addressee <Person Abraham>} and {Speaker <Person God>} . Please add it in ASAP
BUG? or simple inconsistency
I was using the word "locusts" in Mk 1:6 as my Context Menu Test. 1. Select the datatype version of Longacre genre; then select copy references: search. One gets {Section <LongacreGenre = Narr: Story>} -- note it already has the Section wrapping it. 2. Select the datatype of Literary typing; then select copy references:…
BUG: Outlines Guide section fails to pick up Labels
For Sermons, if I add a label manually, the sermon will appear in the Sermon Guides - a life saver as the tagging of sermons has slowed. However, when I add a label to an outline, it does not appear in the Outlines section. What am I doing wrong or is this a serious bug?
BUG: NRSVCE Interlinear Text Comparison
BUG: NRSVCE needs Text Comparison Interlinear alignment assistance on Faithlife servers: Bug is showing NRSVCE text without Interlinear Text Comparison alignment (bottom line of screen shot). Keep Smiling [:)]

BUG: Context Menu poorly adapted to Context
* Why offer information when resource does not work with information? * Why offer Wikipedia for a string of morphology code?
Sean/Kyle: Inconsistent resource type
I am reporting that these resources do not have a consistent resource type. I would also like to please for them being treated as glossaries as they essentially define the title of each entry. As they are basically used as reference/definition in Factbook, calling them glossaries would be the most consistent with similar…
MIA Search documentation
Sean Boisen had assured us that the Search documentation would be included in the All the nnnnn in the Bible documentation. It is not in the current Introduction to All the Altars in the Bible or All the Meals in the Bible. When and where are we to expect documentation ... or are we to assume that you assume all users know…
BUG in Catholic Topical Index Guide error

NET does not display in Text Comparison, Interlinear view
Now that the NET Bible is an interlinear resource I expected it to show in the interlinear view of the Text Comparison tool, but it doesn't. (I had 'LEB, ESV, NET, NLT' selected. Only NET was missing.) I had the same problem in the OT (Ps 73) and the NT (Mk 4). Can this situation be corrected so the NET will also display?…
BUG: Synchronize on exit takes excessive time w/little to no changes

Bug: Reading Status facet is Reading, Library shows Unread audiobook
I just used a facet to filter my Library for "Reading Status: Reading", and now I see 1000+ books as "Reading" and one as "Unread": On the Incarnation of the Word of God (Audio).
BUG: Count discrepancy in From Your Library of Everything Search
Usually, when a search section shows a small sample and an option to run a search, the count given for the search is exactly what you get when you run it. But here one is told that you will get 182 results when you run the search. But when you run it you get 337 results. I do not know which is the intended result. EDIT:…
BUG: or why I hate Logos management of multi-language books
I want to check the introduction from the Hermeneia volume on Q - what do I get? So where is the base of what is published as a single text? Where do I find the introduction, etc. That doesn't show. FL must (a) indicate what are pieces of a single text and (b) which is the first piece. Otherwise, they can count on my…
BUGS: Visualizations Guide for Deuterocanonicals
Bauserman, Charles R., Matt Nerdahl, and Jimmy Parks. 2015. Cascadia Syntax Graphs of the Septuagint Deuterocanon and Apocrypha. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press. is not listed in the results when I run the Visualization Guide on Gen-Rev with NRSV as the preferred bible. In fact, if I run the Guide on Tobit alone, I get no…
BUG? Updated Resources notification window reflects incorrect list of updated resources
I've noticed since 9.2.0.0005 that the Updated Resources window doesn't show all of the resources that have been recently updated. I've made several purchases over the last few days and only a few in each batch seem to be showing on the list. Here's an example... This is well after indexing has finished, although that…
BUG: Citation error
I find it very frustrating to run into resources where the citation format does not resolve into a selection list as it does on the right below but is a long truncated list as on the left below.
BRADLEY? What is up with Verbum memory use
Most of the time my memory use ranges between 35-45% ... but with surprising frequency Verbum goes nuts eating up memory and finally crashing. To reproduce (one pattern I've identified): * open esv with link set a and propositional outline filter * open high definition esv with link set a * open esv-ce with link set a and…
BUG: Concordance guide in current beta
I can't quite find the pattern but the Concordance seems to semi-freeze after a no results. The Daily Events option seems to generate nothing. [Measures seems to be NT only] . But after any selection creates no results, I have trouble getting it to move consistently to a new setting. I will keep trying to find the precise…

BUG/Inconsistency: mouse over on Visualization Guide
The resources with arrows show the first page of data on mouse over. The resources without arrows show the standard thumbnail and information panel information. I believe this is the expected behavior for all of them.
BUG in AFAT source criticism implementation
I was aware that the same datatype name appeared to be used for Eissenfeldt and Mowinckel source coding. I was going to post a suggestion that this be changed in order to avoid confusing those just learning the material. Evidence context menu in Jeremiah generates a Hexateuch tag ... Unfortunately, this results in garbage…
BUG: Copy function in Information tool
The Copy function in the information tool fails to provide a citation. Print/Export has the citation.
BUG: Factbook grammar entry not believable
If you know a bit about the history of linguistics in South Asia, you will understand why, if the sermons were attributed to an Oriental Church Father I might be encouraged to do further searching. But I find the probability that Augustine of Hippo or Basil of Caesarea gave sermons on the verb so unlikely as to pronounce…

Beyond Rituals: How Liturgy Shapes Ethics
To many, an emphasis on liturgy might seem to be more of a liability than a support for ethics. Admittedly, the relationship between liturgy and ethics can easily be framed negatively. Citing passages from the prophets such as Amos 5 or Isaiah 1, where God declares his displeasure in rituals performed by unjust, oppressive, idolatrous, and otherwise unfaithful worshipers, liturgy might be thought of as empty form or mere motions, too often masking hard hearts and unjust hands.
Is the Creation Story Literal? | Vern Poythress on Genesis 1:1–2:3
How should we understand the Bible’s Creation story in Genesis 1? In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Vern Poythress to explore the genre, interpretation, and theological intent of Genesis 1:1–2:3. They discuss various interpretive models—such as literal 24-hour days, the literary framework view, day age theory, and more—while addressing questions of history, science, and the meaning of the days of creation. Tune in as we reflect deeply on how Scripture portrays God as the sovereign, wise, and beneficent Creator.
What Is Nestorianism? The Theotokos Debate Explained
Nestorianism is an ancient heresy that speaks about Christ as if he is two persons instead of one, that is, the one Lord Jesus Christ. The flashpoint in the debate over Nestorianism was Nestorius’s denial that mary bore God in her womb and thus was theotokos, God-bearer. The councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon in 431 and 451 formally condemned Nestorianism.
