Text Comparison Remains a Problem

I didn't put 'Bug:' since it might be another unadvertised feature. For Noet'ers.

Somewhere along the last several updates, FL fixed the verse problem!  If you use smaller panels, and you typed in a verse near your present verse, nothing would happen.  Now, it goes, correctly. Whoo hoo!!

And ... get this.  It works on Text Comparison too!  Another whoo hoo!!

But.

Text Comparison still suffers from not knowing what to do with a verse number:

- In a regular Bible panel from early in Logosian history-ish, typing in a verse number (assuming book/chapter) will (1) present a drop down of choices, with (2) the book/chap/verse as the 1st choice.  Really nice.

- In TextComparison, even if you're in a Bible-group, it just doesn't know what to do.  As in the screen-copy below, it heads for Ancient Canaan. Apparently any index with the appropriate number.

- Which brings up another problem. How many people know who AAHL is?  Even the library's never heard of it.  It'd be nice, when Logos uses book abbreviations, the library would know about them.

- But offset by another problem.  TextComparison wrong-indices can be scrolled (good if you're a Noet'r).  Bible pericopes (enter a book or chap) can't be.  It's the first few chapters and you're done.

    And here is the "options" the 3 dots in upper right hand of text comparison.... shows what I have checked... 12-09-2022-10-15-36

    Maybe your options are different or I am not understanding your problem.... but text comparison works good for me.....  but I admit I do use it as a standard set up.
