Flyovers will not disappear
I think this has already been reported, but I am having a problem with flyovers (unsure of correct terminology) popping up and not disappearing. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how log they persist or when they disappear. They eventually disappear, but it's quite annoying waiting on them to disappear.
Clearing "In resource" highlight / notes filters doesn't restore display to show all of the text
This is with Logos 8.1 beta 3 on Windows 10. If I select all the highlights within a resource - such as below: And then remove the Highlight filter - the complete text is not restored Surely it should be. (And I seem to remember seeing this discussed earlier but I can't find any reference to it)

Question about Homepage Explore customisation
Logos 8.1 beta 3 provides the ability to customise the Explore section of the homepage with one of the options being "feature suggestions". When experimenting with this I found that one of the things it toggles is whether Workflows will be shown in this section of the homepage. I don't think its clear from the description…
Topic Study Layout from GO Box
In Changes from Logos 7 to Logos 8 it was suggested that "The Logos 8 Go box doesn’t yet handle topics in the same way as Logos 7 did. Instead, you’ll need to enter a command such as Open Topic to love in the Go box and choose “Topic” from the Layouts suggestions." This works reasonably well in Logos 8.0, and lead to my…
BUG? In theology guide content
I believe I own a resource under Recommended Reading ... titles are always consistent, you know.Perhaps, you want to link it?
Possible correction to Verbum Help
I'd prefer if the documentation showed the Apparatuses section as deprecated and referred one to Textual Variants ...

2 BUGs? Inconsistent behavior of collapse/expand in copy
I was surprised when I used the right-click section bar menu to copy & paste into a Notes. Whereas the export to Passage List is consistent - it only exports what you have showing - the Copy is inconsistent: It automatically expands closed headers but does not expand "more". It appears that the Print/Export behaves like…
Bug 8.1 Beta 3: Word Formatting Still Not Converting In Notes
The release notes said that note formatting had been preserved when pasting (unless I read the notes wrong) but the problem still exists when coming from Word.
Bug - Link-sets do not survive restart.
This is part of the Layout for my Daily Reading Plan. Most (some) days I work through the four readings set and the commentary articles on the Old Testament readings. Once I have finished I click on my shortcut for 'Update Active Layout' and start other work. The layout seems to remain 'updated' while Logos is running.…
BUG: either context menu or Help file is "wrong"
So I am trying various options in the Ancient Literature Guide ... and I get to the Context Menu part ... and I find "Visual Copy" which opens the Media Tool to an unfamiliar window (I don't use Visual Copy) ... so I open Verbum Help to Visual Copy ... Why does the Context Menu still tell me that it will take me to a…

8.1 beta 2 - Multiple Resource button is highlighted when I open a new resource
The mulitple resource view button is on for every resource I open for the first time the current version. I can turn it off, and it stays off for that resource, but it looks like the default value is "on" for some reason.

I cannot find where I enter or use the "update now" command. After updating to L8 and now using the current beta (8.1.0004) for L8 the update now command could be found on the "About Logos" page.

BUG? Missing parable
I have always been taught that the first parable in the Bible is Nathan's parable to David re:Bathsheba. I was surprised, first that the Propositional Outline did not tag it as a parable. In fact using the Bible Browser Propositional Outline implied Old Testament parables begin in the Wisdom literature.. So I used the…
BUGS or INCONSISTENCIES in the Passage List handling of the Ancient Literature section

8.1 beta 1: Bug? Notes created in Workflows don't show up in Bibles
Notes created in Workflows are anchored both to the Workflow and to the Bible reference. I would therefore expect to see note indicators in my Bible for those notes — but I don't. I've checked the visual filter is turned on for that Notebook. The only way I can get the note to appear is if I re-specify the icon in the…

Resources Missing 'Device' Option in Information Panel - Cannot send to phone
Hi, I have noticed that many of the resources I thought I had bulk sent to my device had not actually been installed.

His Colossians/Philemon one does…

BUG? 8.1b1: Switch Back to Main View Button broken
When viewing the Home Page, the toolbar button to switch back to the Main view is broken. I click on it several times, wait quite a while and nothing happens. I have to click on the Home Page button again to dismiss it and return to the Main view. However, if I click on a Home Page item which refers to a resource, then the…
BUG: Missing parallel resources
As I have both the Protestant and the Catholic version of ANF 08 I can consistently count on at least of a pair of parallel resources. In this case there is no parallel passage, probably because there is only page number not a data type. This surprises me because the text is in the first volume of Migne (Greek). I expect…
BUG: Navigation error in Parallel Resources AND missing sermon tagging
In seeking multiple translations of II Clement, I have been using the parallel resources menu. (Note that it appears these are often no tagged as a sermon).

BUG: RL links disappears
In preparation for the new Migne, I'm building indices by author then linking them to an inclusive index: Things are looking good: Until I save it where the link completely disappears I would expect this to work as a way to keep reading lists of a moderate size and staying within Logos.

Missed opportunity on Church Father
I just discovered that the Factbook for Apostolic Fathers does not include a section on their writings. I would have expected a writings section on church fathers. Integrating the church fathers in a bit more as in showing their works should encourage purchases to explore further.

8.1 Beta 1: Expanding command box hides the menu
The expanding command box has been reported before, but I don't think it's been acknowledged by Faithlife (I couldn't find the thread), and the cut off menu-bar is a major usability problem. A picture is perhaps worth 1,000 words:

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.
