Weird display BUG: reverse text in eBook
This bug may only occur in this specific resource "The Barmen Theses Then and Now" by Eberhard Busch ( https://ref.ly/logosres/9781467434713?art=r7.a1 ) and may be due to the automatic converter's not-always-optimal handling of formatting of the source files thrown at it - however, it seems to be a display bug in Logos (Logos 29 Beta 1 as well as Verbum 28 stable): In a resource that discusses the 1934 Barmen declaration, the six short theses themselves are displayed in a reversed form:
It's a display issue, since when copied and pasted, such as into the note, that same text is fully normal. From the weird reaction of Logos to selecting and such, it feels like the text is shown as right-to-left language, however, it definitely isn't - and when pasted anywhere else, it is perfectly legit text.
EDIT: even the report-typo functionality reads it correctly

The text is actually incorrectly marked as right-to-left. I've passed this problem on to our content team.

It seems the content team published a new version of the book today (LLS:9781467434713 / 2023-10-05T10:07:53Z / 9781467434713.logos4), unfortunately it looks just the same, the resource bug is not fixed:

Today is the 90th anniversary of the Barmen Theses - which reminded me of this book.
Unfortunately, the error has not been corrected- or more likely, the error correction has been made, but not been pushed out to us users: the product page https://www.logos.com/product/208574/the-barmen-theses-then-and-now-the-2004-warfield-lectures-at-princeton-theological-seminary?queryId=e7e6900bae818d330ae8c2b1f70d4627 (sorry, the link inserter didn't let me put this behind "product page") claims the latest revision is from March 2024, however the version in my library is still from October 2023:

Agreed. This needs a content update. I hope FL will step in and get it right.

I think Oct 23 and Mar 24 are meta data updates not content updates. The content is from 2021

We're waiting on new materials. ePubs are automatically generated. For reasons unknown to us, the source material embedded the opening paragraph as Arabic (hence right to left). We requested updated material and they provided it but it was still encoded as Arabic. We've since reached out looking to get the issue resolved but haven't had any luck.
Thank you for the bump though. We're renewing our efforts in acquiring new material.0 -
Thanks for the update, Kyle!
