notes glitch

Larry Craig

this has happened before, so I tried to be careful, but I wasn't careful enough.

Logos says I have 116,000 notes including highlights

So a given verse may have two, three notes plus highlighting.

I had a verse where one word seemed to be in bold.

I didn't see why I might have done that, so I thought I would undo that. I highlighted the word, and the menu showed me I could delete it.

I did and two real notes disappeared too.

And those notes didn't appear in the trash or undo with Control-Z.

So I have no idea what was in the notes I lost and no way to get them back.

So it seems if I have highlighted something, I should just leave them alone. Never undo a highlight unless there is nothing around anywhere close

I created three notes on successive portions of text, highlighted (underlined) the whole text covered by the 3 notes, and performed a bold highlight on one word (admission).

Then I selected the word and clicked "Delete notes and highlights" in the Context menu:

I lost the third note and the underline highlight in addition to the highlighted word! But all three were in Trash, so I could recreate the original note and highlighting:

When I deleted the highlighted word in the Notes tool nothing else was removed.

I could not reproduce deleted notes/highlighting not appearing in Trash. So the "lesson" is always delete in the Notes tool when there are overlapping notes/highlights.
