Error in LCV?
Why is St. Francis Borgia given the nonstandard LCV id of Saint Francis (Jesuit)? It looks like a source parsing error without adequate proofreading.
BWS Senses section not limited to passage (cross-post)
Cross-posting from https://community.logos.com/forums/t/117432.aspx as the problem is seen on both the stable release (6.6 SR1) and 6.7 beta 2 As noted there the book range isn't honoured when looking at BWS Senses. It's not just "Pauline Epistles" but even specifying a single book doesn't seen to have any effect.
Okay, Faithlife, you have me totally confused with this change
Another thread led me to explore recent changes to the type metadata in the library. Somehow, I believe, Faithlife believes this will improve the situation ... I have yet to see how. A sample: Note one volume is now tagged "systematic theology" while only one of the 8 works in this volume is systematic theology. It appears…
BUG: parallel resource link failure of egregious porportions
1. Create a collection of lectionary based commentaries and add the Catholic Study Bible to it. Yes, I know it will be a mix of types "Bible commentary" and "monograph". 2. Set the parallel resources indicator and add the Catholic Study Bible to the collection. Yes, I know the monographs indexed by lectionary date rather…
BUG? Odd Morph River behavior
Most of the time I get results in the morph river: However, in investigating why I sometimes got no results, I discovered that adding a criteria can make the data you just viewed disappear as in this case where I added ending type to the criteria above. This doesn't seem like reasonable behavior to me.
6.7 Beta 2 "Corresponding words" defaults to "HOVER"
In the visual filter drop down box in my ESV Bible, I find that under "corresponding words", when I start up, is "HOVER". I cannot get it to stay on "CLICK". Each time Logos starts it has reverted back to "HOVER" even when I save the workspace. Is this just with me, or do others have the same issue?
BUG? "sympathetic" highlighting at word level
Okay, I wasn't watching very closely recently as I've had other demands on my time but why when I click on a word in one Gospel is it also highlighted in other synoptic Gospels but not in John? Is John excluded even when it parallels the synoptics? Why?
[Crash] 6.7 beta 2: Crash in Exegetical Guide
I had two panels open - an exegetical guide and the ESV, linked together. I was scrolling down a screen at a time in the ESV, and got a crash. There's nothing of interest in the log, so I've also included the info from Event Viewer. 5037.Logos.log Application: Logos.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The…
BUG: Freeze when attempting to set Visual Filters in a multi-resource panel
I opened multiple resources in the panel, selected visual filters and tried to turn sympathetic highlighting on. System froze. Killed via Task Manager. 3580.cef.log 3652.VerbumError.log

BUG? Sermon PB lacks passage index
Why does this file produce a topic and date index but no passage index? 6253.Sermon Personal Book Example.docx
RE: Confessional Documents section
The Systematic Theology section has a Patristics group which appears to be replaced in part by the Ecumenical group in the Confessional Documents section. Where are the Patristic catechisms, mystagogies, creeds etc. appearing when they are not associated with an ecumenical council?

Refreshing resource count in collections
This is with Logos 6.7 beta 2 on Windows 8.1 The simple collection below has two resources If I exclude the top one by dragging it to the "minus" pane the resource count stays at 2 If I close the collection and open it again the count is refreshed correctly. Should it change automatically? Thanks, Graham
BUG? Blank Homepage (OSX El Captain).
I had Logos opened in El Capitan's "split view" with MSFT Word. I decided to close them both down (I think they were opened on Sunday). After I closed word, Logos went full screen again. I decided to check on some resources that had downloaded, so I clicked on the home page button... and noticed that it was blank. I…

Bug [6.7 beta 1]: Louw-Nida gloss missing from BWS when run from an RI lookup
The screenshot below shows two Bible Word Study guides for the word δύναμις. The one of the left was run by right-clicking on the word 'power' in Acts 4:33, selecting the lemma and running the BWS. The one on the right was run from the guides menu, and typing g:dunamis into the box. Notice that the Louw-Nida gloss is…
BUG: BWS is missing considerable text
I am pretty sure that I have not caused this ... I ran a BWS from the context menu in Acts 4:33, using the Lemma. There are considerable blank entries. I can see the text in a pop-up windows when I hover of the resource link but not in the BWS window itself. Moving the guide into a floating window and refreshing it does…
BUG: Missing Timeline flag

Multiple column sort in the Library
This is with Logos 6.7 beta 1 on Windows 8.1 In the screenshot below I sorted the Library by "Last updated" and then shift-clicked to sort by Title as well. But it doesn't seem to be sorted correctly by Title Anyone else seeing something similar? Thanks, Graham
Bug in PB Compiler: VML image error
This happens in 6.7 Beta 1 repeatably for some but not all documents - I have seen it in the 6.6 stable version as well and it has been reported in a recent thread (presumably 6.6 latest stable with a different OS/Office combination): https://community.logos.com/forums/t/117180.aspx While the books compile well, the PB…
6.7 beta 1: Bug in logic operators
Either I'm very sleepy, or there's a bug in the way that Logos is interpreting logic operators and parentheses when searching in 6.7. Maybe it's always been like this. But it's very confusing when search logic works in some cases and not others. Take a search for God love. That's identical to God AND love, to (God AND…
Misleading hovertext
Recently, when you hover over the download indicator, you get the hover text "An application update has been installed". This is misleading. It needs to reference the fact that you won't benefit from the update until you restart. I suggest one of: * "An application update is ready to be applied" * "An application update…
Bug, 6.7 beta 1: Multiple Resources showing unnecessary scrollbar
This is reproducible on Windows in 6.7 beta 1: * Open the NKJV, with no multiple resources. * Type "NIV" in the multiple resources dropdown, and select the 2011 NIV. * Type "ESV" in the dropdown. Notice that you can't see the ESV in the list, but that you can see an unnecessary scrollbar. When you scroll up, the ESV…
BUG? Timeline print/export function
1. On a timeline, select the print/export function 2. Choose to save as text file expecting to be able to import into a timeline program. 3. Expected results: list of events; Actual results - heading info only - a rather useless function as it now stands, I'd say. It seems to me that in the case of the timeline, there…
BUG: Timeline screening for Subject
1. open Timeline 2. Set subject to Biblical studies and Biblical events 3. Set type to individual - punishment 4. BUG results include more or less contemporary events such as Rosa Parks who isn't exactly "Biblical" though she may be heroic and demonstrating Biblical values. If this is the intended result then the missing…
Bug: Hover text too large in morphology search
I'm not sure when this feature was added, but the help text when hovering over the various morphologies in the morph search is really helpful. The bug is that the text in the pop-up is too big for some reason.
How do I rid myself of unwanted Community Note stuff?
The red arrow point to stuff from a link used in a previous community note. I can't find a way to get rid of it.

Edit: when I began typing the text of the new note the stuff went away ... leaving me more puzzled as to what it is and…
Can this be considered for version 6.7?
Faithlife did a great job in beefing up the search results capability for Notes, can 6.7 be the release where the last feature is implemented, namely highlighting the search result in the Note itself? This will make finding results in longer Notes much easier!! Please? :-)
Preparing your library... FOREVER
For the last three days my Logos (6.6.0.0056) has been preparing my library: Overall my system has been bogged down a bit too.

BUG Inline-RI button lost on Luther RI
As discussed in the German language subforum, the Luther 1984 bible has lost the button to turn on the inline reverse interlinear - even though displaying the interlinear data in the ribbon at the bottom of the page still works.

Still Delay in Displaying Ranked Search Results
This issue could also be posted in the General Logos forum because it is still there in 6.4 which has now been released.

I am still experiencing a delay in the display of certain search…
Table of Contents Not Scrolling
I have noticed lately that the Table of Contents view for resources does not scroll past a certain point. Notice in the screen print that it will not scroll past "Telem - Temeni".

BUG: Reading Plan Sync (6.6RC1 Mac OSX 10.10.5)

BSL senses for "scarlet (color)" and "scarlet"
Why are there separate BSL senses for "scarlet (color)" and "scarlet"? - highlighted in yellow and blue respectively? It looks as though the first is used in the OT and the second in the NT. What distinction is trying to be drawn? Thanks, Graham

Beyond Rituals: How Liturgy Shapes Ethics
To many, an emphasis on liturgy might seem to be more of a liability than a support for ethics. Admittedly, the relationship between liturgy and ethics can easily be framed negatively. Citing passages from the prophets such as Amos 5 or Isaiah 1, where God declares his displeasure in rituals performed by unjust, oppressive, idolatrous, and otherwise unfaithful worshipers, liturgy might be thought of as empty form or mere motions, too often masking hard hearts and unjust hands.
Is the Creation Story Literal? | Vern Poythress on Genesis 1:1–2:3
How should we understand the Bible’s Creation story in Genesis 1? In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Vern Poythress to explore the genre, interpretation, and theological intent of Genesis 1:1–2:3. They discuss various interpretive models—such as literal 24-hour days, the literary framework view, day age theory, and more—while addressing questions of history, science, and the meaning of the days of creation. Tune in as we reflect deeply on how Scripture portrays God as the sovereign, wise, and beneficent Creator.
What Is Nestorianism? The Theotokos Debate Explained
Nestorianism is an ancient heresy that speaks about Christ as if he is two persons instead of one, that is, the one Lord Jesus Christ. The flashpoint in the debate over Nestorianism was Nestorius’s denial that mary bore God in her womb and thus was theotokos, God-bearer. The councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon in 431 and 451 formally condemned Nestorianism.
