DESIGN ERROR: Uneven application of highlighting

Given that a 'highlighting' of this kind is meant to imitate a manual stroke in the margin of a book, it should:

be applied to the end of the full line, not the end of the paragraph text.
be applied to the right of hyphens, not on top of them.
preferably form a more even line than they currently do.
preferably form a continuous line.
preferably be a little bit more to the right of the text.

Cannot seem to duplicate your results. The line is further from the text, unbroken, does not cover hyphens, and in the margin for the last line in the paragraph.

4.5b Beta 7 Mac OS 10.6.8 with text size set to default. Could your broken line be caused by larger text?

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Using Logos 4.5b Beta 7 on Mac and PC, can replicate highlighting line bordering text having smoothness issues => Bugs: Logos 4.5b Beta 7 Highlighting: Font Style Choices plus Bordering Lines especially the right side.

Keep Smiling [:)]

No. Just tried with several font sizes; one column, two columns, and reading view. And with another random resource as well.

Then let's hope it's already fixed in the beta.

EDIT: Seems not. [:(]

Bugs: Logos 4.5b Beta 7 Highlighting: Font Style Choices plus Bordering Lines

Thanks for the link. Somehow I've never noticed I can place the line in two different places. Got to experiment with that. The outer one may be closer to what I want anyway.

Maybe Jack took the 'nice' outside border, whereas what you describe and KS4J sees is the not looking nice inner border - looks the same in Beta 7 in Windows, btw.

Aha! Had used the outer line in my previous experiment. Created another style with both right margin lines. The outer one was correct, but the inner line was broken, and close in on the last line of the paragraph.

So that confirms you initial post.

Much nicer:

That solves the problem for me, though I guess the bugs should still be fixed at some point. And I think we now know why it looked so different for Jack.[:)]

EDIT: Seems the two of you came to the same conclusion. [:)]

You type too fast! You have to consider that I write in a foreign language. [:P]

Unfortunately I've found another case where this kind of 'highlighting' isn't applied as it ought:

Note: this is one 'highlight'. The resource is logosres:entrhlydays;ref=Page.p_34;off=1282.
