Bug (8.6 Beta 2) - Selection menu disables mouse scroll wheel
If I select a text, and then use the mouse scroll wheel to try to scroll further up or down in the resource (for example, to select more text than is visible), the new selection menu disables this functionality, and the scroll wheel doesn't do anything. If I click with the mouse on the resource scroll bar to move it up or…
Bug 8.7 beta 1: Significant workflow disruption in new context menu
In the old context menu, I could copy Bible verses in my preferred CBV format direct from the menu because the menu used to use the last-used CBV format. I can no longer do that because the menu only gives me three options, none of which I want. This might not sound like a big deal, but it feels like a significant…

BUG: Scaling on saved layouts
I have a 27" iMac that I saved a layout on. If I open that layout on my 13" Macbook Air, it loads the layout as if it were still on the large screen. After I adjust the scaling on my Macbook, if I save the layout, then open on my iMac, it opens as if were still on the small screen. Is this a known bug?
Sequence of events could be more straight forward
I know this hasn't changed but it's annoyed me for years so I'll mention it since you're working in the area. From the context menu: The sequence is from (a) lowest level of detail to (b) highest group level (c) next level division etc. i.e. L5, L1, L2, L3, L4. This can get more confusing when multiple lowest level items…
Selection data inconsistency
Yes, I can work out an "explanation" but I suspect that an average user would expect the following to all point to the same item: * The original highlight * The context menu - begins at the first word of the highlight but contains only one root * The information panel - select the second rather than the first part of the…
CRASH: Styled Copy
Mac OS 10.14.5 Logos 8.7 Beta 1 Right Clicked a word in Acts 9:27 NKJV. Selected Copy Verse: Styled from the new context menu. Pasted into MS Word, then clicked on the Logos window on the main display to return. Logos disappeared from the screen to be replaced a few seconds later by the Apple Crash dialog. After restart,…
Search bookstore
A Search Bookstore feature has been slipped into 8.6 RC1. This seems to be Cloud Search for books you don't own. It's a great feature, and I can see me using it (and buying because of it). I'd like to see: * More than 40 results. * The ability to specify dynamic collections (so I could search specific authors or even…

This thread is the original report from a user. I thought I report here as well since I am running beta
NO NO NO! BAD FAITHLIFE!
With Beta 8.7 the list of the five preferred linguistic resources (when the Lemme is selected) is gone from the Control/Right Click popup. This is a BAD move, Faithlife, no matter how you slice it. In fact, I wouldn't call it a feature, I would call it a bug. In one fell stroke, word study became several steps more…
Bug: Can't print from The Churchman 91
I can't print from The Churchman 91 unless I select text first. If I don't, I get a message saying that the print/export panel supports export only and can't choose my sections from the TOC. Other The Churchman issues seem to be OK.
Bug, 8.1 beta 1: Can't always select lemma with new context menu
To reproduce: * Right-click on a word in a reverse-interlinear Bible. * Make sure Reference is selected on the left-hand side. * Notice you can see all the lemmas etc. also on the left-hand side. * Now, without dismissing the menu, right-click on word again. Result: * All the lemmas and other info disappear. Expected…
Search bookstore bug
I reported this bug in another thread, but it didn't get acknowledged. There's a bug in search bookstore whereby the settings for Match Case and Match All Word Forms isn't being respected. If you're trying to find books to buy, you need to be specific, and the latter bug in particular has caused me a great headache.…
BUG: Context Menu 8.7 B1
When hovering the mouse over options on the left side of the new context menu the item that the cursor is very lightly highlighted when the mouse is hovering. I would prefer it be shaded or highlighted in a more pronounced way.
Important bug: Purchase button is hidden and can be clicked accidentally
When previewing resources, the purchase button is hidden. I thought it was a 'see more' button, and almost ended up accidentally making a purchase. The same problem occurs when searching. It occurs when the product's title stretches to two lines.
BUG: Context Menu Layout 8.7 Beta 1
Why is the Exegetical Guide, Text Comparison, etc shown at the top of the menu, while the Passage Guide and other tools are listed at the bottom. It seems like they should be grouped together.
8.6 beta 1: Five bugs in the new selection menu
I'm excited about addition of the selection menu. Some bugs, however: * When selecting text, I get the old context menu up, only to be replaced by the new context menu half a second later. * If I click away from the new context menu, and then right-click on the text I previously selected, I get the old context-menu, not…
Minor bug: Library filter doesn't get focus when you open in a new tab
When you open the library in a new tab, filter doesn't get focus, which means you have to click in the filter box before you can type. This is annoying, and contrary to the behaviour when you use the pop-up library. The same bug occurs whether you middle-click, drag, or right-click and select "Open in a new tab".

Bug? Confusing Search oddity - "All Passages" should it be in a Basic Search?
"All Passages" -- should not it only be a choice in a Bible Searchand NOT in a Basic Search ? Why is it populating when I try to run a Basic Search?

Reproducible Crash when pasting into Note (8.4 RC1)
I was trying to see whether Notes would handle Hebrew and Arabic (mixed) text. I selected the text in the screenshot which is a PDF located here. The pasted result is the following screenshot, but Logos repeatedly crashes almost immediately and the note is empty when reopening Logos (I got the screenshot via a timer).…
Beta 3: Double-click and Triple-click Settings
There is an interaction between Double-click/Triple-click Action and Show Selection Menu: * If either click Action is set to Lookup, and Show Selection Menu = YES, the Menu shows briefly when a word is clicked (2x or 3x). This slows the Lookup when compared with Show Selection Menu = NO. * This also applies if the Action…
Bug 8.6 Beta 4 - Visual Filter selection list lacks lemma choices for g:kai

Bug: Notes timestamps inconsistency
The Created vs Modified timestamps obviously handle timezone differences inconsistently. I'm 8 hours ahead of the timezone where I assume this note was created. It looks like the Created timestamp makes the adjustment but the modified timestamp doesn't...
Bug in 8.4b3: Library sidebar find box
The only way to get results for "master's" in the sidebar find box is to include 2 or more apostrophes. Also, I don't show it in the screenshots, but "master'" works but "masters" doesn't.
Double-click action suggestion
Could we have the option for the "double-click" setting to bring up the selection menu? I would probably have double-click set to that and triple-click set to lookup

Crashes of Logos 8.5 Beta 3
As recommended by Philana in https://community.logos.com/forums/p/181216/1048160.aspx#1048160, here is a new thread. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce these crashes. They happen typically during the first 5 mins of starting up Logos. However, I noticed the following: The resources "King James Version KJV 1900" and…
Bug: Notes Bulk move
The notes tool allows dragging/dropping a single note to reorder notes in a notebook but won't allow this action with multiple notes selected.
Read Ahead Link Does Nothing
In the reading plan pane the read ahead link fails to do anything. It has been this way for the last couple of updates. It used to display the next reading in chosen. Is this a bug or just an issue with my computer. If it is a bug has this been fixed in 8.6?
SUGGESTION: Selection Menu Add Note By Reference
It would be nice if the selection menu had the ability add a note using the reference as an anchor and not the selected text. I like the selection menu, but if I am adding notes in a Bible I rarely do it for selected text and this actually adds work to my workflow rather than speed it up. I hope that makes sense.
Minor Bug in Settings
When Use Internet is set to No, the new "Automatically Download New Resources" doesn't get grayed out like the rest of the group.
Beta 3: Fixed Multiple UI Bugs
It's a pity that this was not fixed What bugs were fixed?
Wrong Spell Checking Workflow
Possible bug. When Writing text in my own Workflow, everything is Red Underlined, because I'm not Writing in English. That's pretty weird. The corresponding notes in my note-document don't have these spell check lines. They recognize my default language. That didn't occur in former builds. The spell checking in Notes and…
Bug: No "Open" on context menu for Preaching Themes
This bug has probably been about forever, but it's hopefully only a minor fix. When a Preaching Theme is selected in the context menu, it ought to be possible to open the Factbook to that theme, or to run a Sermon Starter Guide or Topic Guide. Currently, that's not possible.
Development of Workflows
There's been quite a long lull in significant Workflow improvements. For some (many?) of us, they are not yet useable. The intersection between Workflows and Notes is especially problematic. Could we please have efforts on this resumed? Please refer to this post for a list of requested improvements. Also, I invite feedback…

8.6 beta 1: Search option from selection menu runs Inline Search
I was surprised to see the search option from the new selection menu running an Inline search as opposed to opening a search panel. I would, in general, think that opening a search panel is a better option. Thoughts?
Highlighting - Logos has a mind of its own
I've noticed this for some time, and finally decided to post it. In the screenshot below you see some orange, some yellow, and "he lived as an alien" in blue. I didn't apply the blue. Logos did that on its own. Blue highlights frequently appear as I'm scrolling through the Bible. Corresponding Words is set to click, not…
Comment: Lookup in the Selection Menu
From 1 to 5 words selected, the Lookup action is shown in the Selection menu. A one word selection can produce results in dictionaries via word Lookup, usually, but can produce an empty (no results) Power Lookup. For phrases, results are less predictable: Phrase Bible Non-bible grace and mercy Power Lookup --> empty Power…

It’s Monday. You wake up to another week. Yesterday was Sunday, but you missed church again for a pressing work project.

How to Minister in a Disenchanted Age? 1 Peter and Re-Personalization
It is often assumed that Christianity grew and maturated in the ancient world because the gospel fit its sense of enchantment. So many have proposed that we need to re-enchant that which has been disenchanted. One aspect of enchantment evidently means rehabilitating ancient Christian practices—and the weirder it is, the more enchanting. While the weirdness of Christianity is unavoidable, this article wants to argue something more obvious and overlooked: Re-enchament abounds when Christians live out their ordinary lives in the midst of an unbelieving world.

Joseph of Nazareth, the adoptive father of Jesus, is neglected in theology and biblical studies and even in devotion. In Protestantism, he is seldom more than a Christmas decoration.
