Possible CTRL + ALT + C bug

I am not sure if this is a problem with the most recent Beta or was already an issue before 3/5 but I am seeing a difference between earlier versions and this one in the handling of links.

I have been using the Notes feature quite a bit. I copy text into the Note and then go back to the source. There I click on the place where I am citing or scroll so this place is the top line in that window. Then I hit: CTRL + ALT + C. I then select a phrase or word of text in my note, click in the url window in the menu bar of Notes and hit CTRL + V and then ENTER.

By this, I have been able to "bookmark" where I get each quote much in the same way that Clippings works, but with the flexibility of a Note file. It's more work than just using Clippings but I have recently been using this approach alot more.

The place marked in the source text has been fairly precise in previous versions (usually within a few lines or so), but not now.

Hi Ron,

I am not sure if this is a problem with the most recent Beta or was already an issue before 3/5

This still works correctly in 4.2aSr4.

Hi Ron ~ I'm trying to reproduce the behavior you describe above in the Beta version, but so far I haven't been able to. Could you include more details, such as resource and location? Thanks.

Hi Melissa,

I'll try ... The resource link is: logosres:sorhet73th1;ref=Bible.1Th4.15;off=8423 or

[Witherington III, Ben. 1 and 2 Thessalonians : A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary. Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2006.]

I cut and pasted text from here : The paragraph I want begins with the words "The meeting place ..."

and created a link, but it goes back in the resource about 13 paragraphs to "vs. 15 ..."

I have never had that much distance between the two.

I just tried this and it is opening to the correct place. Is the URL above the same one that is in the Hyperlink field for the text you selected? Is the commentary linked to any other resources?

1] Yes and

2] No

Let me try closing the resource entirely first and then trying again.

OK, great. That works, but ... if I hoover the cursor over the hyper-linked text (in the Notes file), it shows the beginning of the section v.15 which is 13 paragraphs above this section. Seems strange, but at least the link does work.

I think this is because the URL uses "Bible.1Th4.15" and that is where the reference to verse 15 is found.

Well, the important thing is that the link works, and it does. Thanks for your helping me with understanding this. [:)] You're efforts on this forum are greatly appreciated.
