BUG - Problem with "Interesting Words" and Exodus 18

Hi,

I was reading Exodus 18 and opened that in the Passage Guide.  I was looking at the "Interesting Words" session and saw that "father-in-law" was emphasized right in the middle.  So I clicked it to see the references. Below the "map" of words it showed "father-in-law (13)" [I am using the NASB], but no verses.  I tried other words and they all shows up just fine, including "Moses" which has 21 references.

I couldn't understand what was wrong until I clicked "father" in the word map (which is small in the map).  That showed "father (1)", but a whole bunch of verses shows up!  When I looked at them, I could see why.  Only one of the verses had "father" by itself (Ex 18-4).  All the others had "father-in-law".  The problem was, however, that "father-in-law" actually showed as "father  -in-law" (note the spaces between "father" and "-in-law").

So it looks to me like clicking "father-in-law" doesn't find anything because it doesn't match "father  -in-law" with the extra spaces in it, while "father" shows too many verses because it also matches  "father  -in-law" when bringing up verses.  So when finding the number of references, it is fine (the counts are accurate), but whatever the program does after that, it doesn't bring up verses correctly when clicking words in this situation.

Any comments on this behaviour?
