Beta 11 Bug: Navigation should be by verse not only by page

Pete Holzmann

What I expect: a simple way to go to any given verse, and also to easily use various action tools on the same

What I see: choose a verse, it goes to that "page" like in a paper book but you can't easily select that verse for use with tools. Word study works for individual words, but verse study is not easily accessed

Setup: NKJV, Small text size, header and footer ON

• Navigate to Psalm 103:15
• It is near the bottom of the page for me, not the top (matter of opinion whether this is ok/bad. This is ok with me, if verses can still be accessed...)
• Touch Psalm 103:15
• The navigator (at the top of the page) on my display says Psalm 103:9, the verse at the top of the page, not the verse I touched (I think this may be one key part of the bug?)
• Touch Action in the menu
• The action verse says Psalm 103:9 (even if I change the navigator to say "15") (also a bug?)
• 
  NOTE: I can change the action verse to Psalm 103:15 at this point, by pressing right-arrow a bunch of times.
  
  
• Now, unless I manually changed the action verse, Passage Guide brings up Psalm 103:9 and so does Comparison

Seems to me that getting a passage guide or comparison on a verse should be as simple as touching the verse, choosing Action, and then choosing Passage Guide or Comparison.

Workaround, as noted above:

• Touch the verse
• Choose action
• Press the "right arrow" N times until the verse you actually want is shown
• Now touch Passage Guide or Comparison

The workaround is ok with large text on small screens. On a tablet with small text, it can take a while to get to the right verse :-D

Hi Pete,

Try touching the verse you want to study and swipe up at the same time. This will bring up the action menu for the verse you touched first.

I just discovered that by accident! It mitigates one of my concerns about the tortuous menu.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. You are correct, in that it is intended for the Action Menu to respect the reference currently in the Navigation Bar. 

We will be pushing out a fix for this in an upcoming release.

 

Thanks,

That does help for this case! Hopefully that swipe-action can be documented somewhere obvious.

Thanks to Hunter for recording the underlying Navigation->Action bug as well. It helps to have a consistent app
