BUG? Behaviour of the "Save as Passage List" option in the Events section in Factbook

I'm using the Factbook Tool to look at a particular event - in this case where John the Baptist is arrested (although this issue is common across all events)

As the Events section shows, this particular event took place in the early stages of the public ministry of Jesus.

I would have expected the Save as Passage List and Open nn passages ... commands to just focus on the biblical passages related to the specific event as opposed to the containing event.

Is this a bug or is it actually supposed to work like this?

I'm using 9.14 beta 3 on Windows so reporting in the beta forum but I assume this has been how it works for some time.

The intended behavior is to use the list of Bible references from the entire Events section.

Thanks Andrew

Do you happen to know why this decision was taken? I would have thought it better to just take the references from the event being studied.

I can see why that would make sense. I don't know, but suspect in this case it was staying consistent with the pattern used in all the other sections where those command give a quick way to capture all the references in the section.

Given the small number of references associated with a single event, it's probably not too difficult (though obviously not as convenient) to right click on the verse references and add them to a passage list.

As the resident contrarian I'll have to say it is working as I would expect - if it didn't include all the passages I would report it as a bug.

I'm interested in knowing why - as most of the verses included are not relevant to the specific event selected in the Factbook.

What I would really like is the event itself, the preceding event, the following event, and the event under which it falls in the hierarchy. But knowing Logos, what I would expect is everything displayed in the section.
