Reading mode text shift when change page

Thomas Wood

While using reading mode on any resource I've noticed that when moving forward or backward through the pages, the text is shifting up the page.

I noticed that whenever I was moving through the book using either arrows on the bottom right of the screen or up/down keyboard buttons, the headings and text shift slightly up the page and then onto the previous one. I would expect the text to remain the same on each page (like a book). Any idea how to fix this?

I have updated Logos 9 to the latest version and using a Microsoft Surface Go 2 with the latest Windows 10. 

Thanks

Are you on scrolling view or page view? If the latter, how many columns? Are you on Mac or windows? which specific OS? Which specific version of the desktop application? 

EDIT: I now see that you kind of listed some of that info, but "the latest" doesn't actually verify if that is correct. I don't think this is specific to OS or App version, but if it were, specificity would be important.

I cannot replicate this on my laptop - also Win 10 - and the current beta.

Thank you for your reply. 

System info:

• Current logos version: Logos Bible Software 9.6 SR-29.6.0.0024
• Windows 10 version 10.0.19043 Build 19043.

I will try to summarise my issue more clearly:

While in reading mode with the "columns" setting set to either "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "Auto", moving from one page to another via scroll wheel, down button, or space bar functions as expected. However, when moving forward or backward more than one page and then back to the page you are currently reading, the text shifts slightly. 

For example, say I am reading a page from a book and want to go back two or three views to re-read something (by views i mean the text on the screen. A page when turned on through visual filters could be more or less than one view). I note that the paragraph I am currently reading is in the middle of the view, then go back by pushing up the button three times (not necessarily 3 pages I know), I read what I want and then press the down button three times to go back to where I was, but I notice that the paragraph that was in the middle of the view has shifted slightly. Sometimes it is easy to pick up on and continue, but sometimes the heading or paragraph has moved to another view meaning I will have to push up the button 4 times to get back to where I was reading previously. 

To test this:

1. On selected resource, select F11
2. With columns set to anything but "none", make a highlight of text while in reading mode
3. Move 3 or 4 views forward by any means and then three views back
4. The highlighted text (in my case) has moved slightly along with footnotes and headings
5. Repeat the move 3 or 4 views forward or backward and the highlighted text moves again when returning to the page you originated from

The issue here is not moving from one view to the next and back, its moving through more than one and then back to the reading location. This results in the text moving. The footnotes also move around with the text. I tested without footnotes and the text still moves so it's not the footnotes from what I can tell.

I have noticed this ‘repagination’ a lot but never been personally concerned enough to report it. It’s not something new but long-standing. I agree though it would be good if it did not do this. I see it most  often in courses tool. When I first open reading in columns view I first move from start to finish to preview headings etc and see the length of the reading. When I get to end and move backwards it repaginates. I similar sort of perusal when part way through a longer reading and when you try to move back to where you were the writing is now on a different part of screen and you have to reorient where you were at previously.
