Why does the Command Box dropdown show me books I haven't accessed before presenting a Bible lookup?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

This is with Logos 43.0 on Windows.

I was trying to open Philippians 1 from the Command box, but the first few options in the dropdown were to some books that, as far as I know, I have never read or opened (with the possible exception of the fifth). Why does the algorithm used here suggest these as first options?

The algorithm orders the groups (Books, Look Up, Tools, Layouts) according to which group you selected from most in the last 20 (?) or so uses of the command box.

An exception is made if you retype a command you recently used, in which case it'll place whatever you selected last time at the top.

So, if you tend to use the command box a lot recently to open books, then that will show up first.

Thanks for the explanation @Andrew Batishko - appreciated.

The books listed are rather stupid and php 1 provides a better selection

Can I customize "instant details"?
I don't remember what it is called in Logos, but the Accordance equivalent is the "Instant Details" and it is the little info stuff down at the bottom if you hover over a word. Anyway, is there a way to change what it says? The main problem with it is that it shows SO MUCH redundant information that it makes it difficult…
Why is there an arrow appearing next to a verse in all my Bibles?
I'm seeing what looks like a hand drawn arrow next to a Bible verse in my Bible window. I have attached a screenshot. How did it get there and what does it mean? (I have a Max subscription.) Thanks!
Formatting Bible Verses in Sermon Builder Slides
Is anyone else having a problem with preserving the formatting of Bible verses when they are added as slides? For example, inserting Psalm 119:89 does not preserve LORD in all caps using NASB95. Is there a way to keep this formatting without having to edit the slide?
Copy bible verses and sermon builder 43.0.377 Logos 10
I have a set style in copy bible verses and when I paste it into sermon, it looses most of its formatting. Especially the superscript. This was noticed after the last update. Are there settings I need to change?
Where are all the formatting options for NASB?
For the ESV I can switch off footnotes as well as verse and chapter indicators. In the NASB I only have 'non-bible text' which turns off footnotes as well as verse numbering. I want the verse numbers but not the footnotes. Ideas?
