Passage Analysis problems
In using the Version River I have noticed some (at least what appears to me) to be bugs or shortcomings:
* Tabbing from field to field does not work.
* When entering a new passage in the passage field it tries to find a match and never does. When pressing return to confirm your entry and leave the "auto find" the river does not repopulate/recalculate.
* Entering Bible abbreviations in the Bible field very inconsistent and unpredictable (Logos may decide to enter some random Bible for you)
* Pressing enter to begin calculating the river works only after you have changed Bibles and even then it perpetually calculates until you click inside the Bible field again. And then, it may randomly replace a specified Bible with something else (I have noticed that it usually replaces a version with "top Bibles"). Additionally, there is no "blue arrow" to press to begin calculating as there is in the Windows version.
This is my experience on only one machine.

There are a few known issues with the Passage Analysis functions in the Mac version. I will make sure the ones you've noted, and I've confirmed, have been submitted to development. Thank you.

I know it is probably still on your list of to do's to fix but these problems persist in b10. Thank you.

Haven't seen this on the known issues list of the last couple of betas and wanted to make sure you were still aware of it. Thanks.

Yes, we are still aware of Passage Analysis issues in the Mac Beta. Thank you.

Michael, your persistence is quite admirable. I'm sure Melissa agrees too.

Michael ~ To follow up on issues above that we cannot reproduce:
Michael Paul said:* When entering a new passage in the passage field it tries to find a match and never does. When pressing return to confirm your entry and leave the "auto find" the river does not repopulate/recalculate.
Do you have an example of a passage where the match is not found? If the passage doesn't match a specific pericope in the preferred Bible, the entered passage should appear at the top of the auto-complete list.
Michael Paul said:* Entering Bible abbreviations in the Bible field very inconsistent and unpredictable (Logos may decide to enter some random Bible for you)
Can you provide examples?

We are not seeing this behavior in the latest beta build. If it still occurs after installing Beta 13, which is due out this week, please let us know.
I missed your mention of the missing blue arrow the first time. It is missing from other panels as well, where one is found in Windows, except in the morph picker in Morph Search and Visual Filter documents. I will report the discrepancy.

Melissa, sorry for the trouble and confusion. I feel really bad as I have discovered that I was actually referring to a different thread/issue found here:
http://community.logos.com/forums/t/34521.aspx
Related to the Info Window. I mistakenly used this thread. As it turns out, those issues with the version river seem to be resolved (other than being able to tab to the next field). I am terribly sorry to have wasted your time. However, the Info Window issues are still there. Thanks, and apologies.

Oh, no worries. Thanks.
