BWS Septuagint Translation gives incorrect bible references..

Looking at your PNG image, the only reference not correct is the text-box one (top-most on right). That's not unusual (though maddening of course). The linkage of that text-box to the actual text is touch and go depending on the window size.

The LXX and NASB number these chapters differently, so 40:6 in LXX-R is 33:6 in NASB. The pop-up labels the verse with the data type name, which is why it says 'LXX-R Jeremiah 40:6 | NASB95' (which could be verbalized as: Jeremiah 40:6 numbered according to Rahlfs' Septuagint, with text from the equivalent passage in NASB95), instead of just 'Jeremiah 40:6 | NASB95'. We could do the conversion automatically so that when you hover on Je 40:6 in the report you just see "Jeremiah 33:6" in the pop-up, but that would also generate forum posts and support emails from folk who think that we're showing the wrong verse. At one point I argued for going even more verbose with something like 'LXX-R Jeremiah 40:6 = NASB95 Jeremiah 33:6', but I think that was shot down as being cumbersome.
The good news is that Logos is handles all these conversions smoothly - even if the UI takes a bit of getting used to.

[Y][Y][Y] For myself this is a HUGE improvement in L4.
