Ability to Allow Full View in Commentary Section of Passage Guide
Is there any way to allow the ability to show the full reference view in the commentary view of the Passage Guide. At this point we are only allowed a limited preview of the section in each commentary. In some of the more technical works it would be nice to have the full comment of the passage. The power lookup also allows only a limited preview and we have to click on each individual resources to see the full comment.

Answering, is there any way, no.
And not disagreeing with your idea; but some commentaries can go on for pages and pages, parallel readings, heavily footnoted, etc. When they plan functions, they have to think of all the permutations.
I just quickly drag the reference to the top of the panel (new tab). Sometimes a new panel to the right. And less often, a new window.

I would say at least double the length allowed. I ran a test with John 3:16 on just my Study Bibles and over half were still cut off. I would say double the length allowed and then permit the user to click more at the end for full text. It would be nice to have a commentary tool which also would allow users to click on a word in the bible and then see if that is discussed in the commentaries. I know with Multiview you can probable do 10 but would like to see development on the ability to read more commentaries on a certain passage without having to tab or open up a lot of commentaries.

Similar to lemma in passage?
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Actually, the functionality you seek is already in the Faithlife stable (mobile; not desktop). In the screencopy below, a lengthy ANET reference is displayed, and is scrollable, since it won't fit in my iPad. I notice the desktop seems to use the same desktop popup routine across various uses ... and not scrollable.

Thanks so much MJ! I never realised the lemma in passage even existed - it's wonderful.
