Well, I feel dumb to ask but, I have lost my focus...

I may have dreamt this, but I thought there was a keyboard / mouse combo that retained the focus on the Info. Pane.

If I hover over a word in a Bible, say, and the info. pane shows the root, lemma, etc. for that word. If I move the mouse to the info. pane, unless I am lightning fast, it disappears. Is there a way to hold that info. in the pane so I can move the mouse to the pane to explore the word further?

I have tried holding Shift, holding Alt, holding Ctrl - all to no avail.

I finally found in the Logos help file...

4. Moving the mouse cursor over another word in the text will bring up information on the new word. To move the cursor without changing the content, hold the Cmd key down (Mac) or Ctrl key down (Win).

It doesn't work for me at all. I have tried both CTRL keys. No success.

Not specific to your hovering, but I prefer setting the info panel to click (panel settings box). I hate mouse/keyboard combos on a touch screen.

yep, I saw that and tried it. May have to resort to it.

The CTRL key is working for me. I don't recall a bug report on this issue. I wonder if you might try closing and reopening the info pane or Logos to see if that might correct the problem.

OK, I have worked with it some more...

I don't know if the image below is clear enough, but if you hover over a word and hold down CTRL and the mouse passes through a non-shaded area of the scroll bar of the resource, it indeed works- (green arrow below)

But, if you hold down CTRL and the mouse passes through a shaded area (the so-called "read-wear" bookmarks - mine in this graphic are orange - indicating current search results) of the scroll bar, it loses focus (red arrow below).
