Bug: (Crept into RC) Read Aloud Feature Trouble

The Read Aloud feature stopped working properly in the release candidate. It was fine in Beta 5.

There are three problems:

(Bible and non-Bible) While it is reading, if you attempt to scroll the reading stops
(non-Bible) It doesn't not scroll automatically, so the reading goes off screen
(non-Bible) you cannot start reading in the middle of an article in non-bible works.

The combination of problems makes the read aloud feature unusable for non-bible works. Once it reads off screen and you attempt to scroll, reading stops. If you pre-scroll and request Read Aloud it jumps back to the start of the section.

(Due to certain personal issues, this feature is important to my study.)

I have experienced the same. The most annoying for me is #3.

Also, I assumed (not always a wise thing to do with software, admittedly) adjusting the voice pitch and speed in Win7's control panel would likewise effect the changes in Logos' reader. Not so. If the adjusts should affect the Logos reader as well, it isn't, at least on my system.

We didn't change the read aloud feature between Beta 5 and RC 1 (the list of changes is at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/7480/59163.aspx#59163).

Additionally, I can reproduce your three bugs on SR-7, so I don't think they're new problems. (They're ones I hadn't known of before, though, so I have filed bugs on your three issues.)

Thanks for checking Bradley. I was sure it was working (obviously) on the betas, but I believe you.
