BUG: No linking scrolling

I just downloaded St Basil and note that linking the Greek and English does not enable them to scroll together.

    Does Basil have a passage reference scheme (i.e. is there an index available, other than page number)?  If not, I don't see how Logos would be able to link the two together.

    It's organized by volume and letter.

    It works for me, George. Has your indexing completed? I can link between letters and it even syncs with the Nicene-Fathers volumes.

    What doesn't work for me, however, is the very last text, the famous Address to Young Men on Reading Greek literature. It would appear that Logos has correctly tagged the letters, but not the address at the end (there is another Logos volume it should link to as well, but it doesn't work).

    Edit: the title of the said address is missing a word in the English version, I'll let you guess which one:

    BASIL THE GREAT’S

    TO YOUNG MEN, ON HOW THEY MIGHT DERIVE PROFIT FROM PAGAN LITERATURE

    Edit 2: actually I'm not sure the title is a typo, it might just be a very literal translation of the Greek: (ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΝΕΟΥΣ ὍΠΩΣ ἌΝ ἘΞ ἙΛΛΗΝΙΚΩΝ ὨΦΕΛΟΙΝΤΟ ΛΟΓΩΝ)

    Perhaps that was the problem since it seems to work now.  They do say that patience is a virtue.

    I'll look forward to that in a few centuries.
