BUG: Interlinear text in Notes crashes during edit

David Paul

Episode 1,558 in the on-going saga of lost functionality in Logos…

I have dozens of old notes that have interlinear text.

I don't think inserting interlinear text is even possible any longer in Logos as it currently exists. If I try to edit any of these old notes (increase the Hebrew font so it can be seen; add the transliterations to my dictionary so the red line goes away), the entire program crashes. This needs to be fixed. The solution is to make it so interlinear text can be inserted in Notes…like it used to be.

Hope you subscribe … for anything like that.

How would that help?

Any major repair would need a subscription (interlinear > notes).

I've reported this to the team.

We're unlikely to add interlinear/table editing to Notes soon, but we should ensure that the program doesn't crash when viewing notes imported from an older version.

Just to be clear, I can "view" the note, meaning I can click the icon and scroll what is in the associated window, but as soon as I try to edit anything in the window, even things not directly connected to the interlinear table, the entire program crashes. What I would like to do, even if I can't mess with tables directly, is still be able to make edits in a note window that has a table included with crashing out. Thanks.

Also, fwiw, at some point, most of the right-to-left interlinear snippets I had pasted into my notes got transformed into left-to-right text. You can see this in the pic above…the interlinear text is in reverse order compared to the order of the idiom in the starred footnote. That really needs to be addressed, too.

Okay, Bradley…I'm thinking carbon credits-ish. Since there is little chance that tables will be included in notes any time soon, and all of my Hebrew interlinear tables have been switched from R-to-L to L-to-R and are useless to me, I would prefer to have whatever time would be assigned to resolving this issue redirected to addressing the issue I raised in the post below.

Nothing to solve or troubleshoot…just cranking out 10 piddly icons. I know that numbered icons exist; I've seen them elsewhere. This will be a gigantic boon to my workflow.

Regarding the interlinear tables, I can use the workaround of copying the interlinear text into Word and then taking a screenshot and inserting that into my notes. It's not ideal, because I can't highlight individual cells of a pic, but it suffices.

Yeah, so I want to spend my Bug resolution time credits on getting numbered icons. THANKS!!!
