Highlighting on iPad has gone haywire

Dale Courtney

I do a lot of Logos reading and highlighting using my iPad. 

Up until about a month ago, highlighting worked perfectly: I could select a word and drag my stylus to where I wanted to stop highlighting. 

Now, however, when I select a word, Logos often grabs other words around the highlighting. And when I try to stop, it selects words that I don't want -- usually extra lines or even to the ends of sentences. 

Any idea if this is some new "feature", and if I can disable it? I'm spending an inordinate amount of time trying to fix my highlighting choices these days. 

Thanks. 

Best,
Dale

This is a new feature - it is called "Smart Text Selection"

You can enable / disable it in the resource view settings. Tap Aa when in a resource and toggle the setting to off
