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

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 ...

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).

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.

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…
Factbook "Expand / Collapse All"?
Within the various Guides there is a right-click option to Expand / Collapse all sections. In the Factbook you can only Expand / Collapse one section at a time. Could you "all" option be added to the Factbook? Thanks, Graham
Documentation lag/inconsistency re: interatives
* New Testament Use of the Old Testament is out of sequence in the Help file * Missing in the documentation: Bible People Visual Timelines, Commandments of the Law, Hebrew Bible Manuscript Explorer, Miracles of the Bible, New Testament Manuscript Explorer, Reverse Interlinear, Speaking to God, Synopsis of Samuel-Kings and…
Documentation bug: Sync repair missing
I noticed yesterday that sync repair isn't documented in the Logos 6 Help file.
Help file lag: Tools
The Courses tool has not yet been added to the Help file. I'm assuming that the Self Tests appears only when applicable which it is not for me. May I suggest that a single help file be used for Logos and Verbum with a simple note/indication of "Logos only" or "Verbum only"?
Bug: Crash while opening a reading plan.
Selected the passage for a reading plan (I am behind) and the software crashed. 4186.Crash.zip
Update Resources not working
I noticed this a few weeks ago, but paid no attention to it. My update resources no longer works. Every time I acquire new resources I must shut down the software and reload it. Furthermore, my software is set to use the Internet all day long and the resources I get are not downloading and installing automatically. I again…

6.12 "Not syncing client due to previous fatal error: CustomDictionaries"
A permanent sync error, with the log entry: "Not syncing client due to previous fatal error: CustomDictionaries" The original error was simply that the remote name couldn't be resolved. This is hardly an unusual error when connectivity isn't great, so Logos should have recovered from this without me needing to restart.…
Entering John 1:1 in Homepage Go box gives unexpected results (5.1b Beta 1)
If I put John 1:1 into the Go box I would have expected that passage to be the default selected but instead I get a default option of 3 John 1:12. How is this generated - and the default selected - and is this expected behaviour? Thanks, Graham
