BUG: Loss of formating

I am trying to build a clippings file with the various outlines of Bible books from study bibles, commentaries etc. [Okay, I really wish Logos provided a comparative outline feature similar to the pericope comparison). When I make a clipping of an outline from ESV, the indentation is lost in the clipping.

Example/screenshot? My attempt showed minimum loss of formatting.

Minimal yes but a significant loss of visual information for seeing structure and finding location.

Yup, I'm able to reproduce that too. Interestingly, if you copy and paste into Word first and then copy and paste back into a clipping, it retains the indentation, so that could be a good workaround for the time being (it loses the links this way, though):

Fascinating - thanks for testing this Rosie.

The problem appears not be be specifically with clippings, but more generally with Print/Export, which presumably the clippings code uses. If you copy to the clipboard from Print/Export and paste into Word, you get the same problem.

It was minimal with my attempt - I agree with what I see from your example!

I'm not sure what is different about "The ESV Study Bible," but I will report the problem.

If I add a clipping of the centered text from its title page the formatting is saved. Also, if I add an outline from the "Concordia Self-Study Bible," such as the one on this page, logosres:cssb;ref=Bible.Nu;off=11181, the formatting comes over correctly. Note that, although the text appears as an outline, it isn't actually using the rich text editor's bulleted or numbered list formatting (if you press Enter at the end of a numbered line, a new numbered line is not created). That is also the case when copied into a Word document.
