Logos mobile select/copy/paste method in notes has a copy bug

On mobile/tablet, copying & pasting text content with Scripture verse references or only verse references themselves in notes using the Logos app's selection method (which seems to not be the regular, built-in Android method of selecting text & moving the cursor) doesn't work or work properly.

You can demo by the following:
1. Have a note with text content & verse references. Some or all verse references can be separated by a new line (making a list of them) to be of a similar setup.
2. Press & hold over a verse to bring out the Logos select options & press the copy icon.
3. Find another place in the same note for pasting or even in another new note.
4. Press & hold to bring out the Logos select options & press the paste icon.
5. The text content is pasted without the verse references.

If I do a similar thing of just copying one or more verse references & then pasting them in the same note or a new note, nothing happens except for sync activity (as if changes happened).

Now, verse references or verse references with text content originating from another place & using Android's built-in select options method (or even using a keyboard with select/copy/paste abilities) to paste into a note in Logos works correctly (verse references included with text content).

So, it seems Logos copy method is bugged with a flaw.

Attached are some pics demonstrating this with a copy of a note I've worked on from a Passage List I've made with the same name (except for the "test test" part; not public but maybe at some point).

Also, this does not happen in the desktop app (When I tested this. Though I think copying from a webpage with verses to a Logos note had an issue like this? I can't remember right now.).

Though I found these work around methods, I hope this can be fixed.

Thank you & God bless!

    Saw & tested the update yesterday. It is fixed! Thank You!

    This problem seems to have re-appeared.

    Copy/paste of a passage from logos into google docs has worked fine for years. It has always pasted the selected passage reference and verse numbers. All worked fine 2 weeks ago.

    But today it has completely changed the formatting: no reference/citation prefix, nor verse numbers. But it has added a citation suffix, which I do not want.

    I don’t recall changing any logo settings at all in years. I believe the only time I’ve changed Citation settings was today, when trying to fix this problem, to no avail. And the problem persists after restarting the app, changing Bible versions/translations, ….

    What format do you have set for the copy&paste?

    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."

    still no answer. Hoping that anyone understands my question and is able to Support. Thank you Daniel
