[BUG Report] Quotation Block removes reference when converted to normal - Sermon creator

Version: 39.1.006

MacOS Sonoma (14.5) (But it is happening also on Windows 11)

It hasn't started in this version, but I only had the chance to report now.

In Sermon Builder, when we call for a verse text typing the reference it comes as quotation block, as usual.

In previous versions one was able to double click the Bible reference and could format it, while it was still as quotation block. Now it is not possible.

Logos is fetching Bible Verse from the reference but it appears as "normal" but behaves as quotation block.

My use case: I add a specific format to every Bible reference so when I see it I know it is a Verse. Since some versions, I am only able to see the reference text formatted when I remove the quotation block, changing it to "normal" (even Logos saying it is "normal. Hope the picture attached will help)

Again: please improve your Sermon Builder ASAP. I a heavy user but it will not take long until I abandon it and get back to Onenote or Obsidian. Logos' Sermon Builder is so poor and I preach every week; so imagine my agony… Almost every new update something in Sermon Builder come to be broken.

Just for the record, trying to help Logos team, the issue is on quotation block option. Have just confirmed that it is "doubling" the reference for some reason.

So far, Feb 13th the bug persists.

    The latest version of Sermon Builder lets those passage blocks always be editable while still preserving all the cool passage block behavior. If I am understanding your use case - you are wanting to add custom formatting to the Bible reference itself?

    In previous versions, when I typed in the biblical reference and called up the corresponding text using Tab or Enter it would give me the passage in a passage block, fine.
    However, if I double-clicked on the passage block I could edit the biblical text as required, for example, by adding bold, italics or underlining to the text and adding specific formatting to the biblical reference itself.
    Today the same behavior remains but now when I double-click on the citation block the biblical reference disappears and I can no longer edit it I have to retype the biblical reference.

    I am adding a Youtube link with a video I made to demonstrate the bug.

    No replies on that.

    Please tell me you are fixing Sermon Editor back to its previous behaviour. It is driving me nuts. I simply can't use it now. Even cmd+z for undo it is not working properly.

    I wonder what (why) have you done to change it so dramatically

    Please take a moment to consider tags when you are creating a post. If you had added the Bug tag to this post (which I have now done), it would have drastically improved its chances of receiving attention.
