[BUG] Linked commentary jumps to Textual Apparatus in most NT books

When changing from one NT book to another in a version pane, the linked commentary pane jumps to the Textual Critical Apparatus in the Complete Biblical Library (CBL) from the commentary . This is true for all NT books except Matt., Luke, John, Acts and Revelation. This only happens when the CBL New Testament commentary is the active commentary in the commentary pane. This switch also happens when scrolling with the scroll bar in the version pane with the CBL commentary active in the commentary pane. Please see attached videos for examples. I am wanting the commentary pane to follow whatever NT book I am in. This happens when any other commentary is active, just not with the CBL. Is this a bug, or am I not doing something correctly? Much appreciation in advance.

This isn't strictly a bug - at least I don't think so - but it is strange behaviour.

This series contains a number of commentaries and a number of apparatus volumes - and it seems that the default priority setting being applied favours the apparatus above the commentaries. Hence the result you are seeing.

You can get around this by prioritising the whole series - track a volume from it to the prioritisation area - and then specifically prioritising the appartus volumes individual beneath it (I have just done this for Hebrew - Jude to demonstrate)

(Details on prioritizing books are available here)

That should fix the problem - but I don't know if there is a deeper issue here that someone from Logos should look at

Thank you so much for your quick response. I will give this a try and see if it works.

@Graham Criddle That should fix the problem - but I don't know if there is a deeper issue here that someone from Logos should look at

There is an issue with a series containing a mix of types e.g. The Christian Counselor’s Commentary series (20) has 10 commentaries and 10 matching bibles. A commentary will switch to a bible volume and a bible volume will switch to another bible volume. Advanced Prioritization can only be made for ~~the Bibles~~. (EDIT: the Bible datatype, which applies to both resource types).

The only way to resolve the issue is to place the bibles in a different series e.g. The Christian Counselor’s Bible Text.

NB Bibles should be prioritized before Commentaries to avoid the issue of opening a commentary when a bible is intended. But I don't prioritize the bibles that accompany a commentary as they are the author's own translation.
