Address bar inconsistent

I just checked going to a passage using the address bar in both the LXX with Logos morphology and with Gramcord morphology.  I found the same situation in each:  Some addresses will work while others will not.  I could go to Is 7.14, but not to Kg 2.5.  I also attempted to use the Greek titles without success.  Entering Jer 1.5 produces Jer 1.1.  The results for other resources are unknown at this time.

    Hi  George,

    To find 1 or 2 Kings in the LXX, you want to type '3 kingdoms' (1 Kings) or '4 kingdoms' (2 Kings) in the reference box. I've included a screenshot showing the LXX with Logos Morphology, the Parallel Aligned Hebrew-Aramica and Greek Texts, and ESV linked and side-by-side.   When I enter 'jer 1.5', the visual cue displays at verse 5, and 'Jeremiah 1.5' is in the current reference box.

    The JW version (Kingdoms) might be a legitimate alternative, but it is not in keeping either with the general practice in other bibles nor in v. 3.0 that 1 Kg or 1 Kings would not work.  I would suggest that this be changed. 

    You may get Jer 1.5 on your machine with your version of 4.0, but I still get Jer 1.1.

    Typing '1 kg 2:5' will work (requires the '1' or '2' in front) -- but it will show '3 Kingdoms' as the match.  I'm not sure why '1 Kings' does not appear as it does in LDLS 3, but I can check into it. As far as 'Jer 1.5', it may be that the resource didn't get updated on your system, but we should have the same version of Beta 3 (if you've updated to Beta 3).

    It isn't in keeping with general practice in other bibles which follow the MT names, but nor should it be... I guess it's a question of balancing accuracy with ease-of-use. Displaying 1-4 Kingdoms for 1 Samuel - 2 Kings accurately reflects what they were named in LXX. In terms of navigation it still works if you type 1,2 Sam or 1,2 Kings. So I think the balance is right.
