CRASH 8.9 Beta 1 - Notes tool
I created a new note, not tagged to a bible reference, and then made a list of headings which I then set to bold. I then started making further notes under each heading, not in bold. Under the second of these headings, the cursor started jumping around when I began typing. I managed it for a while, trying to get the cursor…

Bug RC2: Context Menu Defaults & Commands
1. By "default", I mean the data that is automatically selected after menu selection on the previous word. It is expected that this will be the same unless it is N/A to the new word. I'm using Mt 7 in ESV. * The default is Greek Strong's when the previous Menu selection is LN, Prop Outline, Sentence and other <datatypes>…
8.9 Beta 1: Comments on Enhanced Milestone Search
"Enhanced {Milestone} search to support {Milestone <DataType = Reference>} and {Milestone <DataType ~ Reference>}. Note that the default operator has changed to ~ (intersects) if not specified, just like a regular reference search. This may change the results for {Milestone} queries, which previously defaulted to…
Bug: Vertical Scroll Bar in Context Menu
It can be difficult to activate the vertical scroll bar with the mouse pointer The 'active' zone is just to the left of the bar (as shown) and extends to roughly that distance inside the bar. If the tip is in the middle of the bar, it does not become active, unlike other vertical scroll bars in the UI.
Bug RC2: Morphology Charts missing from Bible Word Study
Morphology Charts is normally at the bottom of the Lemma section. If this is a fix for this long-standing problem, then the F9 function should also be removed as it still crashes Logos[H] Also note the severe truncation of the "spark" graph on the gloss line.
Bug in Prayer List.
So after refreshing my homepage each morning my prayer list looks like this. Which is fine, but when I open the prayer list 'today' has become 'tomorrow. And even if I ignore the 'Tomorrow' and work down my list at the end the items jump up and the display still reads 'Tomorrow'. So I close the panel and return to the home…
ACKNOWLEDGED BUG: Search results incomplete esp. ANF et. al.
The degree of granularity in the tagging of the Church Fathers is inconsistent, frequently with ANF et. al. having less granularity. This is simply the result of different numbering systems without a reference mapping routine. However, this does create a problem in the Search routine which is especially concerning given…
'Copy Bible Verses' Copy & Paste not functioning ... but it was last week!
Mac Mojave 10.14.6 Logos 8.8.0.0039 Word 16.28 (19081202) Everything was working last week ... and last year etc. Word has not updated ... only Logos. macOS has not updated (only Safari) I click on the link 'Copy and Paste' (which is grey as if disabled ... intentional in the UI?) ...and Word receives the focus but not the…
Beta 4: "Reordered the items in the Context Menu"
They are more consistent than Beta 3, especially Copy. I would only add that Copy: for a Reference should be labelled Copy verse:, as it is for a Selection.
Bug 8.8 RC 2 - Search highlighting of Imperative Sentence containing Imperative Verb
Follow-up to thread => Bring imperatives from a whole book of the Bible where expanded search to: ([field bible, content] <LogosMorphGr ~ V??M????>) OR {Section <Sentence = Imperative>} noticed if an Imperative Sentence has an Imperative verb, then the whole sentence is highlighted in search results (instead of just the…

BUG in documentation: Figure of Speech
It appears (I checked with a Find) that the examples of searching for the Figure of Speech label has been deleted from Help. I also don't find documentation of the dataset.

POSSIBLE BUG: Default Notes Font Size not changing Fonts
I was under the impression (perhaps I am wrong) that when you changed the default font size for notes, any note that has not had altered fonts/sizes would automatically change with that setting change. However, this does not seem to be the case. Is this a bug or expected behavior? Beta 8.4

CRASH: 8.8 Beta 4 BWS
Logos 8.8 Beta 4 Mac OS 10.14.6 CRASH:Settings Bible Word Study seems to have been fixed, though not reported in the release notes. A less dangerous bug seems to exist in the same selector. Was selecting several different translations in testing the previous bug. Everything worked correctly until I selected Logos…
Philana: bumping BUG: applying tag by memory
The information panel has a number of fixed properties that don't allow the user to adjust the panel to see everything ... usually not a problem but what if I want (as I did) to apply the tag to all and all I see is 1/6th to 1/8th of the letter A to represent "Apply"? Yes, I saw it; yes, it worked, but one has to know the…
Question for Philana re: community tagging
Okay, I've finally put on my deerstalker hat and lit my pipe to do my best Sherlock Holmes impression for The Case of the Missing Community Tag Option. * Too long a selection and it does not appear ... although the selection is the target from the Factbook not the name of the Factbook entry. I believe this has always been…
BUG: Bibliographic sort order
* I did a search on ASV, "American Standard Version" * I created a new Bibliography document * I started opening results from the Search and adding them to the Bibliography through the Add all open resources function * I sorted the Bibliography ... which sorted as I expected up through the blue arrow ... thereafter the…
BUG: Still having trouble with community tag {Resolved .. kind of}
Yes, I turned the filter on but I'm still not seeing the option to add a community tag ... a serious inconvenience at the moment. Edit: When I restarted the computer this afternoon because of Verbum response times, the community tag reappeared ... Edit 2: now the problem is back some 12 hours later without a restart

BUG: Refresh played let's duplicate results
I had just updated the collection so I went to refresh the section to see the results. I literally got more than I expected. I foolishly expect each resource to appear only once
latest update over Beta
Couple questions. One being, if one installs the latest Beta, will the next regular update overwrite this Beta that is installed onto Logos, thus ridding of any possible bugs found in the Beta version. Also, though I read the fixes I still am wondering if any has found a fix for the links not working in Lexicons and…
Bug: Search Results for uploaded Personal Books
After removing an uploaded PB (Peacemaker), I confirmed the resource had been deleted from the Resources folder and ran a search where the result would only be found in that PB. So I performed a Rebuild of the PB Index, and confirmed it had not been re-indexed: Note that Bookstore was searched, even though the section is…

Bug: LHI note icons proliferation
I like anchoring book overview/outline notes to the book title rather than to vs 1:1. In all the other Bibles I've checked, including a number of Hebrew Bibles, the note icon appears only at the title. In LHI, however, it appears at the title, then resuming at 1:2 it appears at every verse. ESV et al correct: LHB et al…
Notes adding incosistencies and bugs [8.8 beta 3 Windows 10]
I have found a lot of inconsistencies in the note system on Logos 8.8 beta 3. 1. When I add a new note, the focus of the note tool does not change to the note. I don't know if this is a bug, but at least it would make more sense for the new note to become the focus. 2. When I was trying to find where my new note went, I…
BUG: Wasted search cycles
Yes, I know the search argument won't achieve what I want. However, three sections of the Search do not run if the arrow head is "closed" - Library (downloaded). Library (Cloud), and Bookstore. So why is "your personal books" more ignorant - running even when closed? Consistency not only is more efficient but is also…
BUG: Search failure on a phrase search
When I search on a specific phrase "Basic English Bible", why does a subset of the phrase appear in the results - "Basic Bible"? It appears that the phrase search is not a phrase search. or even worse
Bug: Library Tile View on Mac
As far as I can tell, this bug is only present in Tile view and on macOS. When scrolling and then Shift/Cmd+clicking to select multiple resources, the scroll location is reset to the previous click if the previously selected resource has been scrolled out of sight.
Data BUG (LHB-CA): Silluq/Meteg indistinction
18,769 data errors are due to tagging every Silluq in the Hebrew Bible as Meteg, which is simply preposterous (Meteg isn't even really a Cantillation mark). Here's a search that finds all these. I mentioned this before and Eli said it could be "easily changed". This is also covered in the Resolving Ambiguities section of…
Bug in named layouts
Several of my working layouts contain the library panel with a filter ... usually a user created collection. This filter is not retained when I reopen the layout ... which is a major reason I have the layout in the first place. Image of a typical layout after I have restored the filter.
BUG: 8.8 Beta 1 Course Videos

Update Logos 8.8 Beta 2
After having downloading Logos 8.8 Beta 2 update, in my Logos it happens what follows: Reading a resource, any resource, I click on a footnote in that resource and I try to copy some text of it right clicking on that text. But in the moment I right click Logos crashes. My PC works on windows.
8.8 beta 2 bug: Keyboard picker getting in the way of morph terms
When doing a morph search, pressing @ is cycling between the Hebrew and Greek keyboard, rather than allowing me to enter morph terms.
Keyboard switcher covered by Go button
I really like the new keyboard switcher. I'm not a fan of how it is covered by the Go arrow button in the Bible Word Study, however. I would prefer that the box were made a bit larger so that they can coexist side by side, as they do on the Morph search panel.
BUG: Important Passages settings not retained
When changing the passage in the passage guide (which I generally do via a linkset), some of the settings are not retained. The TYPE of reference is not retained while the To/From setting is retained. When viewed by type, all types collapse (better than all expanding) rather than remembering their previous expansion state.
Bug: Disappearing "More" button in Context Menu
Switching from one item to another and back again in the context pane causes the More button to disappear in the commands pane.
Unable to select words in Aland, Synopsis of the Four Gospels
I am comparing accounts of the same story in the various Gospels. I want to mark up the text in different colors to show the words that are similar between the different Gospels. I was actually preparing to teach my Gospels class how to do this with Logos. I was shocked to discover that when I select a word or phrase and…
Bug? Parallel Gospel Reader tool sometimes does not highlight corresponding Greek words properly
The Parallel Gospel Reader tool has a wonderful capability to highlight the corresponding word in a different Gospel when I select a word in one Gospel. However, sometimes it highlights words that are not actually in the other Gospels. Here is an example. When I hover over the Greek word ὅτε in Matthew 21:1 it properly…
Bug Beta 2: Highlighting in Harmonies
If you attempt Highlighting in Bible Harmonies with dynamic text, like Aland's Synopsis of the Four Gospels, the result will vary depending on the method: * From Highlighting tool * No text is highlighted in the resource and it is treated as a "Highlight" without text in the Notes tool i.e. it is anchored to the resource.…
