Fix Hebrew highlighting/notes Bug

Member Posts: 4
When using ANY of the Morpho tagged Hebrew Bibles, highlighting does not work as it does in other languages (Greek Morpho bibles) or as it does in Hebrew bibles which are not morphologically tagged.
When selecting 1 or more letters of a word to highlight/markup, the entire word will instead be marked by logos if the word is a compound of more or 1 elements (most hebrew words). For instance, trying to mark קרב as Blue in the word בקרב results in the entire word being marked blue. it will work if trying to mark a subset of a single word, for example marking the reish in ראש
For clear examples and explanations please see: Oct. 2019 thread https://community.logos.com/forums/t/185662.aspx or March 2020 thread https://community.logos.com/forums/p/188760/1095254.aspx#1095254.
This bug is present and repeatable on Windows 10 and Android in ALL complete morpho Hebrew bibles, I tested it in: BHS, BHW, LHB, LHI, and AFAT. Bug is not present in BHQ (not morpho bible) but BHQ is an incomplete bible at this time so this is not a solution. Hebrew is very important, and note taking/highlighting needs to work right like it works in Greek/Latin/and the other languages in Logos.

my animated gif from year 2020 in the forums makes it clear: https://community.logos.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/147/4431.SingleHighlight_2D00_Fail.gif0

I need so much this thing to be corrected... Currently this is so painful, I do my coloring in word after exporting the text... Which is very annoying... Formating issues, no possibilities to use visual filter automatism ...
This is the main feature that I need right now.0 -
I agree, this is a much-needed fix. It makes it impossible to do any simple underlining of Hebrew words with partial characters only. It would be great to get this so one can highlight only partial characters in a Hebrew word.0

This bug unfortunately hinders my user experience and makes it really hard for me to work with the usual quality. Therefore, i think fixing this big is very urgent.

It is annoying (both to me and to my students in class) when trying to highlight just the acrostic letter in acrostic poems sometimes to have the letter and sometimes a whole word be highlighted.
What's more it seems odd to me that it's precisely those forms with multiple independent morphemes that resist individual letter highlighting. I would have thought that בְּ or וְ would absolutely be able to be highlighted independently, since one can search for them independently, and I can imagine many times in which I would like to highlight all the instances of a particular preposition in a passage independently from conjunction וְ. With the current bug, that is something that specifically cannot be done.0
