BUG: Text Comparison

I think this is a bug:  Text Comparison tends to display the entire book, which locks up L5 for several seconds.  This is repeatable in L5, with the tool set to "Follow". It seems to happen at the beginning of a book of the Bible. After I type in a verse or a range of verses, Text Comparison behaves correctly, displaying a verse at a time.

    Hi David

    To get to the "beginning of a book" are you just typing in the name of the book?

    If so, the software would seem to be behaving as would be expected as you are asking it to compare all verses in the book.

    Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?

    Hi Graham,

    Thanks for asking.  No, just scrolling along the bible text.  For example, when I scroll through Genesis 50, the Text Comparison will follow along verse by verse. But when I scroll to the next book, Exodus, the Text Comparison tool locks up L5 as it tries to display the entire book of Exodus.  Interestingly, when I scroll back (in reverse) to Genesis, the tool follows along verse by verse and not try to display the entire book.
