"Remove Annotation" will also remove all highlighting within a verse

SteveF

As an experiment I added a note to a verse plus I highlighted one word in the same verse.  Then I selected the verse and right-clicked on "remove annotations." Not only did the "note" disappear, BUT so did the high-lighting.

Since Logos 4's release in Nov of 2009   -- "annotation" has NOT mean "highlighting." If you see lots of "confusion" now by beta testers wait until that change makes it to the "prime time." of a Stable release. Our Forum "stars" already (expertly) hand out  detailed "fixes" to confused "newbies."  The ["a 'annotation'" is 'really' a "highlight"] change is going to confuse/frustrate a lot of people who will then be posting looking for help.

ie. even those on beta are confused: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/39641.aspx

Therefore, if this "new" way of [looking at/naming] highlight-annotations is to be the ongoing pattern, a MAJOR re-explaining of
"terms/definitions" will need to be done before this Beta (whatever its #
becomes) "automatically" replaces the present stable versions.

Annotations with or w/out Highlighting seems to be the message (and it's facilitated by the new Note icon menu); therefore the use of Erase needs to be changed, if not removed from the Highlighting tool. Highlighting has been removed from other menus (Search fields, Visual filters) and implicitly or explicitly replaced by Annotation.  So there might be a need to refine "remove annotations" ... as it does the same as Erase i.e. does not affect a reference Note on the same verse (it has to be selected separately and then "removed").
