    I was able to reproduce this issue when increasing the font scale. The font is truncated on Windows correctly occasionally, with an elipsis. It looks like an elipsis isn't used on Mac. I will report this to Development.

    I will pass this suggestion on to the Development department.

    Thanks.

    The resource popups in the Library are meant as a preview, not as a full description. Popups in resources, however, should be using the full screen.

    The ECF Library popups used to use the full screen. But maybe that was just because the font was larger then? Yet, I do seem to remember more (most) of the TOC's being visible in the past.

    This has been by design since the Library popups were implemented.

    Is my memory really that bad...?

    Development has decided that the popup is redundant when the resource information panel is open.

    It isn't. The info is only visible when you have one resource selected, not when you have many. Example:

    1. I have received a new collection of fifteen books.
    2. I select them all. They've downloaded together with a whole lot of other books, so finding and Cmd-clicking every last one takes a little while.
    3. I tag them all as Catholic and Patristic.
    4. Now I'm beginning to think about subject. I see that most of them should be tagged as Christology. I also see two new books outside this collection that should get the same tag, and two books in the collection that should not get the tag. So far so good. Easy to fix with Cmd-click. -- Only there's also three books inside and five outside that I'm unsure about, and would need to see the info for. But because there are no popups, I can't, so...
    5. I have to get out of the multi-select mode, and click these books one by one to see the info.
    6. I then have to select the relevant ones again, before I can add the tag.
    7. I tend to add a lot of tags to theological books, so doing this over and over again takes a lot of unnecessary time.

    I also find it rather amusing (you can read that as absurd...) for Development to talk about "redundant" popups: the redundant popups are the ones that are all over the place when the info panel is not open! Why would I possibly need a popup for every single column there? One column (the book cover) that shows a popup on hovering when the info panel is closed, and one column (the same) that shows a popup on hovering when the info panel is open: nice and consistent, not too much, not too little. Please.

    The font size has become much smaller (i e we've got a new "yet another font slider malfunction").

    This should be fixed in 5.2a Beta 1.
