Bug: Wrong word in Bible word study

In the SBL Greek New Testament, if I long press on a word, the pop-up information lists the correct word in the title of the window. But the word shown for "text", lemma, meaning and Bible word study are for a different word. The "Search SBLGNT" option lists the correct word, however. It appears to list the previous word, rather than the selected word.

Also the Greek of accented letters often shows a boxe instead of the proper Greek letter.

    Confirmed in LGNTI..

    This is a known problem.

    Something similar occurs in NASB in 1 Pet 1:13 but the pop-up info lists the same word for every long pressed word.  When long pressing on any word in "prepare your minds for action" the word σύ is displayed every time.  It works fine on ipad/iphone.  I've run into this problem a few times in NASB.

    I have too, but it is not as consistent as the SBL Greek text. I was not sure if I was just pressing the wrong word with my fat finger!

    It would sure be nice to display the Reverse Interlinear ribbon or the words under the text. Even better would be linked windows with sympathetic highlighting! For now Olive Tree Bible Reader will have to do. At least this lets me search my resources when my Android device is in Airplane Mode.

    Someday Logos will be able to do all that and more :-)

    That's a typical reverse interlinear problem. If you look at the Interlinear format in desktop Logos you'll see there isn't a one-for-one translation. ESV is different again.
