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. Support info imply recent updating INTERACTIVE:SYSTEMATIC-THEOLOGIES 2020-10-07T00:00:19Z SYSTEMATIC-THEOLOGIES.lbshtm but it seems to me that…

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?

BUG: Factbook - too many sermons -> blank Factbook article (9.1 Beta 3)
Win 10. Verbum. 1. Open the Factbook article of someone with a lot of sermons in your library. (I did it with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.) 2. Click on "More" in the Sermons section. 3.

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…

[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…

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

Is it intentional that journals be included in the Look up list? I hope not.

DATA BUG: In what sense is a courtyard or palace a tent?

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.

15 verse limit on Word by Word guide?!? (Logos 9.1 Beta 4 WIN 10)
When I run the Word by Word Guide, it will only show 15 verses. A lot of pericopes are longer than 15 verses. My expectation is that it would show all the verses in the entered reference so I don't have to run it several times in 15 verse increments to cover the whole pericope. (If a limit is needed, maybe to the last…
