Passage location and linking

Dave Hooton

Bible app 6.0.5, Android 7.0, Galaxy A5 (2017) - Scroll View

Some examples when scrolling  LEB (Text size 1 below default, min. line spacing, NOT linked)

Passage Location         Visible Passages

Jn 1:29 - 40  -->            1:32 - 39

Jn 1:30 - 41    -->          1:33 - 39

 Jn 1:37 - 2:1  -->          1:37 - 43

Jn  1:35 - 46 --->           1:37 - 43  (manually adjusted from a different position)

Some examples when scrolling ESV (Text size 1 below default, min. line spacing, linked to BKC)

Passage Location         Visible Passages        BKC Location     BKC Visible Passages

Mt 3:17 - 4:8  -->          4:1 - 6 (long verse)       3:15 - 4:2            3:16-17  (poor alignment in BKC)

Mt 4:11 - 22    --->         4:13 - 19                      4:5 - 11               4:8 - 11  (poor alignment in BKC)

Mt 4:22 - 5:8    --->        4:22 - 5:2                     4:23 - 5:12          4:24-25    (poor alignment in BKC)

Mt 5:1  - 13     -->          5:2 - 12                       ch 5 - 7               5:1 - 12    (reasonable alignment)

The ESV, LEB passage location can vary with the same visible passages. It would appear that BKC aligns to the (incorrect) ESV passage location.

On the same phone the ESV passage location is accurate when scrolling in Vyrso 5.16.0. And the alignment with BKC is as accurate as it can be.

EDIT: When not in Scroll view Passage Location is accurate as is alignment with BKC.

         Attempting page to page in Scroll view via a finger "upward flip" is not accurate as the continuation can be several lines from the top.
