When I first selected text in NT307, right clicked and selected add a community note, the Community Note panel opened with a message No notes. BUG: I had to repeat the process for it to add the blank note in which I entered text.
Bug: Windows Task bar doesn't show that Logos is running
This has been bugging me for years. Logos doesn't consistently show on the Windows Taskbar. See the screenshot below: If you have the app pinned to the taskbar, the often it's not highlighted to say that it's running. As a result, when you click on it to go back, it tries to load the program from scratch (you get the…

In the first paragraph of the article on Aaron select "forces of Amalek" and add the Community Tag "Amalekites (the Exodus)". 3. Try to select just the word Amalek ... it is no longer possible.
6.13: Glyph missing from font
As you can see from the popup, there's a glyph missing from the font. Also, on the default resource font, the underline character under the 't' is offset to the left. It should be directly under the 't'. Here's a link to the reference: logosres:nic19ps;ref=Page.p_421
scroll bar in collections (+ these resources) disappears
I happen to take a look at a collection today and each time I opened any collection of books the vertical scroll bar would pop up and then disappear. Running latest beta.

Shouldn't the default handle all common characters? Oakes, Peter. Galatians. Edited by Mikeal C. Parsons, Charles H. Talbert, and Bruce W. Longenecker. Paideia Commentaries on the New Testament. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2015. but it is valid
6.12 beta 1: Bug: "Continuous Play" icon resets when exiting fullscreen
To reproduce: * Open the Courses tool. * Make sure "Continuous Play" is turned on. * Go to fullscreen, then turn "Continuous Play" off. * Now exit fullscreen. Result: * "Continuous Play" is turned on. Expected result: * "Continuous Play" should remain off.
BUG? Should this be happening?
Should the Concordance be finding links that it can't translate? the name of this resource is more than a bit cryptic.
Logos Keeps Crashing
I have isolated this to the Factbook. I open the Factbook to Rome. Click the dictionary tab and Lexham Bible Dictionary, when I click to open the article to Rome Logos crashes.
BUG or SUGGESTION: Visibility of course readings in Concordance
I don't know what causes the readings in Courses to not be recognized as references in the Concordance, but I certainly wish they were so I had a complete bibliography for the course.
BUG: Reference is invisible except in Concordance
I clicked on the reference in the concordance to open the resource. For the life of me, although I can find the corresponding text I can't see any reference or footnote reference to Achtemeier.
Using logosres links on Macintosh
Long-time Mac users probably know that it is not easy/possible to use logosres:, logos4:, etc. links from other applications (Pages, Keynote, Word for Mac, etc.). If you don't know what I'm talking about, then please ignore the rest of this post. This is for the "power users" who have tried to use this feature before and…
BUG? Should your updates cause broken links
Is this the intended behavior or (a) should the old text that was referenced be retained or (b) should the referencing works be updated?
BUG? DIY Bible study and Moment with God
Methinks there is something abnormally short about the reading ... and it doesn't quite correspond to where the DIY Bible Study intends to link ... perhaps end of previous reading and beginning of new are appearing in reverse order?
BUG? Is this a major screw-up or am I missing something?
Here is a Concordance run on the LBD ... just as I would expect the name format is Surname, Given name when in Count sequence. BUG? Here is the concordance on the LBD in Heading sequence in Given name Surname order ... Huh? Please tell me where I've gone awry ... I don't want this to be a Logos problem ...
6.13 RC 1 - Localization issue in German UI for Reading Lists
Maybe this issue is old, but it occurred to me just now when I used the German UI on 6.13 RC 1: Bible references don't work unless by chance the bible book name could be understood in the German language as well (thus Psalm and Genesis work, some of the other Latin names for the five books of Moses as well as Titus…
Crash as of 7/11 with update
This began last night with an update that was installed and indexing, files below: 2313.Logos.log 3554.LogosCrash.txt 5621.LogosError.log
BUG: Formatting problem
I know this was raised before but thought it was corrected ... please either prohibit turning both Propositional Outline and Discourse Features on ... or make the output a little less "interesting" ... Yes it looks better when I reverse the order I request them but still ...
BUG: Resource Font size slider not working...

Can't clear "Updates will be added when the application is restarted" message. 6.13 RC 1 (6.13.
A week ago I moved to a new computer with Windows 10 (HP ENVY x360 Convertible Notebook PC; Windows 10 Home (64bit); I7-6500U@2.50GHz; 12GB of memory). I installed the Logos engine (stable channel 6.12), logged in and waited for the syc and indexing to finish. It worked fine except it always says "Resources are ready to be…
BUG: cultural concept coming up inapprorpiately
All words in v1 appear to bring up the cultural concept cities rather than just city names. Resource International Greek New Testament Project (IGNTP). Codex Sinaiticus: Septuagint and New Testament. Cambridge, UK: The Codex Sinaiticus Project Board, 2012. at Judith 1:1

Reproducible crash in Topic Guide
As reported elsewhere, the topics.logos.com section of the Topic Guide causes a crash when run for the topic dedication. Presumably the malformed weblink in that topic is causing the crash. I haven't edited the topic yet as I thought you would want to see it first to double-check that's the correct diagnosis, and ensure…
MultiView Series support super welcome!...but....
I HIGHLY applaud the added support for selecting series in Multiview. The window title bar, however, needs some rethinking. See the screenshot... It would be better if in this case the title bar would read: "Title | Series A | Series B" Another thing that really should be considered is that if the guest resources are…

Update Resource does not work
I have noticed for a couple months now that update resources does not work for me. Update Now doesn't do anything but update the software in each beta release. Eventually, the new resources I get will download and install, but once I get the email it's been processed and I hit my shortcut for update resources it use to…
BUG: several Logos options select no entries on the home page
The ones that are turned on but produce no results are checked ... the Logos Community Pricing one is what made me think "bug" rather than "timing"

On PC, (Windows 10) 6.13 Beta 3 On Mac, (El Capitan) 6.12 SR-2 1. Bible Text Only 2. Chapter/Verse Numbers 3. One Verse per Line and then... I could not get this to reproduce in any other major English Version.
6.13-b2 TC font size not changing
In the Text Comparison tool (both docked and floating) changing the resource text size has no affect on the text.
Bug: Text comparison box needs to scroll horizontally
Why do I need to scroll the text comparison box to see the entire passage?
BUG: 2=3 because of mismatch of translation used
The 2 comes from the LEB the 3 comes from NRSV my highest priority Bible ... inconsistent data in Lemma section of Factbook which in fact only shows 2 verses. BTW I can't check if the spark chart shows Books and counts on hover as I can't force it to stay open.
NA 28 issue with apparatus display
I use most of the time NA 28 and the GBS version- but this version when clicking all the asterik just shows book info no apparatus info- see screen shot- the problem is in the volume to the left.
BUG: drag-and-drop reference to visual filter has inappropriate format
Yes, I'm trying to find new functions ... 1. Open a Visual Filter (Basic or Bible optionswere tested) 2. Open Factbook to an entry with a reasonable amount of data. 3. In the content section of an article of a resource in the Dictionaries section, try to drag and drop a Biblical reference to the Condition portion of a…
BUG? Is this intended or is a space/line break intended
Picky, picky but is this how it is intended to look - no space (or line-break?)? (Factbook Preaching Resources section)
Missing documentation for Factbook
At a minimum the following sections are missing in the Factbook documentation (Help file) * Media * Sermons * Journals * Semantic Roles
BUG? or oversight? Events section of Factbook
Why doesn't the Event section of the Factbook provide a Save as Passage List option? and perhaps in Open nnn passages in <bible version> as the Passages section does?

Odd bug 6.12: The letter 'w' is being treated like a 'v' in the Topic Guide
This one is a bit odd. The letter 'w' is being treated like a 'v' in the Topic Guide. To reproduce: * Create a new Topic Guide. * In the reference box type walley. Notice that all the suggestions are for valley. * Now in the reference box type fello. Notice there are many suggestions that include the word 'fellow'. * Now…
BUG: Higher than normal CPU usage after waking from sleep mode (WIN 6.13 Beta 1 (6.13.0.0006))
I was using Logos last night and then closed the lid of my laptop so it would go into sleep mode. This morning I opened the laptop and it woke from sleep mode. After a couple minutes (using logos, the only application open) the fan started running faster because the laptop was running hotter. I checked Task Manager and…
6.8 RC 1: Bug: Exegetical Guide not displaying all morphologies
I learned recently that the exegetical guide should display data from all morphologies, not just the presently selected one. It does this by noting differences after displaying a ± sign. Hovering over the ± shows the different morphologies. This isn't working correctly on 6.8. For example: This is from Ezk 21:28 (BHS, it's…
Documentation defect aka please explain the inexplicable
Why does Ancient Literature and only Ancient Literature fall between the Passage Guide and the Exegetical Guide? Or the broader question: It looks vaguely as if the intended order is default section in default order; other sections in alphabetic order each under the applicable guide ... but something went awry. Can you…

Meet Jesus’s Other Father: The Overlooked Legacy of Joseph of Nazareth
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.

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.
