Ordering of Formatting Markers in the text

Running Logos (or Verbum) 45.0 beta 2, the order that formatting markers appear in the text depends on the order in which they are enabled in the Markers menu

If, for example, I select Bible Study Documents first followed by Homily (or Sermon) documents then the Bible Study indicators appear on the right

If I select Homily (or Sermon) documents first followed by Bible Study Documents then the Bible Study indicators appear on the left

I am assuming this has always been the case - I just noticed it on verses that have multiple types of markers associated with them.

Is this by design? Would it be possible to always show them in the same order to avoid possible confusion?

Thanks for the post, @Graham Criddle. This has always been the behavior, but the addition of these new markers does allow for more opportunities to notice it. I'll bring it to the team for discussion to see what, if anything, we want to do about that design.

@Graham Criddle do you use the Beta on your main Account and your main computer? I want to try the new tools but I‘m a Little Bit affraid to change to the Beta channel.

Yes I do - and have done for many years.

But I always have a stable environment available as well - in my case, I have two Windows account set up on my computer one of which is running the latest stable version while the other is running the beta.

In general, my experience of running the beta has been positive without many significant issues but there have been times when a particular beta release just hasn’t worked on my computer and I’ve had to wait for the next one to be released.

So if you don’t have the option of having multiple installations (either along the line I outline above or - as quite a few others do - have a stable version of Logos and a beta version of Verbum or vice versa) and losing access to Logos for a few days (or weeks) would inconvenience you I would advise against running the beta.
