Inexplicable and unacceptable alignment of ESV/LHB

I've come across many, many instances of inaccurate alignment, but I haven't found an example that beats this one:

Unless perhaps it's this:

Given that the ESV is ... not the most obscure bible out there, and is Logos' default "preferred Bible," one would expect a much higher degree of accuracy and attention to detail.

I rarely show the interlinear ribbon, but this problem is quite noticeable in Bible Word Studies as well as Hebrew lemma searches in the ESV. This makes the results of doing translation comparisons (among many other tasks) unreliable at best.

Unfortunately there is no efficient and/or effective way to address specific problems of this nature, apart from the forums. Regardless of whether any type of crowdsourcing is employed, we need a "report typo" for links, formatting, tagging, etc.
