Poetry Formatting in the KJV 1900 is no longer available?

With the updates in the last few days to the KJV 1900 and accompanying internlinears, poetry formatting is no longer on (by default), and I cannot figure out how to turn it back on. I believe that this may have been unintentonial on Logos' part since the capitalizations for the poetic lines still remain in the text (see below).

For example, this is what it does now:

Jeremiah 49:31–33 (KJV 1900)

31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, That dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, Which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone. 32 And their camels shall be a booty, And the multitude of their cattle a spoil: And I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; And I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord. 33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, And a desolation for ever: There shall no man abide there, Nor any son of man dwell in it.

This is what it did last week with my same settings (my preferred way):

Jeremiah 49:31–33 (KJV 1900)

31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation,

That dwelleth without care, saith the Lord,

Which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

32 And their camels shall be a booty,

And the multitude of their cattle a spoil:

And I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners;

And I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.

33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons,

And a desolation for ever:

There shall no man abide there,

Nor any son of man dwell in it.

Could anyone point me in the right direction to turn poetic formatting back on? I would be most appreciative.

This part, I'm not as confident about… I thought there was a way to turn off the Poetic lines in the ESV (display all text in paragraph form). I could be wrong about that. But I couldn't find a setting that addressed that either.

    This is probably related to the issue corrected last week on the use of capitals in the KJV1900 which used some formatting that applied to the Cambridge Paragraph Bible but not the 1900 version. See

    It appears that the poetry formatting is not used in that version - checking against the resource given in the linked post.
