Bible-search: Search-fields select dropdown list error

This error has been around for quite a time.

I want to select search-field in dropdown menu, but I can't expand the "Search field" list, or the other lists for that matter. If I click the small arrow, all it does is to make the distance between the lines bigger, but no checkboxes appears. see screendump

    Is this true for all Bibles in your Logos setup or just this one? If just this one, what Bible is it and what do you see in the Search Fields section of its Information pane?

    You are on to something: It is only in my Danish Bible 1992, but it is an application-wide error: The same error when I use the Global search function placed in main menu. I do not think that it is an error in the search-function, but only in the graphic representation of fields and handling of check-boxes etc.

    That's worth checking

    If I try a search surface:hope in an English Bible I get all verses with the word hope in the text.

    Can you try something similar in your Danish Bible and see if you get the results you expect?

    That works as expected.

    If I want to choose from dropdown-list in my danish Bible I can choose to make a Bible-search or a Basic-search.

    If I choose basic I can see the fields in dropdown, but if I choose bible I can't see them, see pictures.

    By the way: Thank you very much for helping me with this, I appreciate it.

    Sorry, forgot to insert this about searchfields in my danish Bible.

    What version of the app are you running and what type of Program or Scaling do you have turned on?

    I am using Logos 9.10.0.0004

    Scaling is 80%.

    If I change it to 100% dropdown looks better; no more changing line-spacing when trying to expand Search Fields.

    But still, if I choose basic search the Search Fields show me the fieldnames, and when i choose Bible search the Search Fields is empty, see pictures from earlier.

    Gunnar, this should have been reported in the Logos Desktop Beta forum, from where you would have downloaded this version.

    Yes I see, sorry Mr. Hooton - will not happen again.

    This error has been around at least a couple of years, and in this way isn't connected to any specific version, beta or other. I guess I have lived in the hope, that somebody else would make it go away. Seems it isn't the case. 

    I think Mr. Criddle is on to something suggesting that the problem is the conversion of my Danish Bible, not an app-problem. And as the Danish Bible isn't the most used Bible-version in the Logos-universe, point in the same direction, as I see it: Not many Logos-users will ever experience this behaviour, and therefore there won't be many reports about it in any forum.

    But still, if I choose basic search the Search Fields show me the fieldnames, and when i choose Bible search the Search Fields is empty, see pictures from earlier.

    I wouldn't expect the Search Field list to be populated for Bible Search**,  but do the other lists (Solid Colors, Emphasis Markup, etc) populate as the screenshots don't show if they were clicked. And is the behaviour consistent between Bible Search and Basic Search?.

    ** the only field that could show is Surface Text, but it doesn't happen for other bibles I have checked!
