BUG: Reference range on Passage Guide Bible Commentaries

I "count on" the Commentaries to show me the reference range covered because it is a clue as to how much the commentary is focused on my precise pericope. But, as you can see below, for a book such as Malachi the data is highly unpredictable. Note Factbook does a much better job.

Note Factbook does a much better job:

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."

    I do not see that in Logos 34.1 nor Verbum 35 beta.  The references are complete.

    The issue arose on Verbum 35.0.505 on Win 11

    You reported in the wrong forum for v.35 Beta 5.

    But I cannot reproduce, especially where your panel width is more than sufficient.for the shorter entries like ESVSB and ESVGSB.

    Unfortunately, I recently got called out for using the beta forum for an issue unrelated to the beta; I was simply running the beta code. Perhaps, Logos should tell us where they really want non-beta issues reported.

    AFAIK this is a code issue as you are using a feature.

    Thanks, MJ. 

    I take it this is a longstanding issue, not a regression in v35. (If you aren't sure, please let us know so we can test in an older version.)

    It's good to hear that it's better in Factbook's new Commentaries section! As you might have guessed, we are trying to make Factbook an even better all-in-one tool, that will serve most users/use cases. As we bring some of the most-used guide sections into Factbook, we are also trying to iterate and improve on their designs. One reason for this approach is that Factbook is shared between all platforms (desktop, mobile, and web apps), so they all the get the benefit of the new design. We think that this is better investment than putting effort into the existing guides, which would mean three distinct implementations.

    I am not certain but I think so.

    I strongly agree but make sure my beloved semantic roles don't get buried.
