revising a hyperlink in notes

I am running Beta 5, and I think I have found a minor bug. Sometimes I want to edit the target biblical reference for a hyperlink in the notes. For example, the link in the text of the note says Ezekiel 36, but I want to make the target something more specific like Ezek 36:32. I have found that I can just add a couple of digits to the hyperlink target in the menu bar, and my Bible window will now go to the new reference when I press Ctrl and left click on the link. But the pop-up stays the same as it was (i.e. the pop-up continues to show the first part of Ezek 36, starting with verse 1). Apparently changing the target of a hyperlink does not change the pop-up reference.

I have tried to reproduce this in Beta 7 and the correct pop-up text is displayed for Ezek 36:32 - is this still an issue for you?

I can still having the same thing in Beta 8, which I just downloaded. I have just discovered that if I close Logos, and re-open it, then the pop-up has now been corrected and points to the verse that is in the hyperlink box. If I just close that particular note file, and re-open it, then the pop-up takes priority, and the hyperlink box no longer shows the edited hyperlink, but rather the original hyperlink before I edited it.

It is not a major issue, because a link can always be deleted and retyped when you want to edit it. It is just was interesting to me that a link could point to two different places at the same time (i.e. the pop-up and the text to which the link leads when you click on it). Apparently Logos and/or Windows seeks to reconcile the difference when you close the program or close the window.

But if George can't reproduce the problem, maybe it is just an issue for my computer. I am running Vista 32 bit.
