Bug: Text Comparison Needs Repair Work

The Logos5 Text Comparison window seems to be deteriorating.

- I already had trouble typing in specific Bible abbreviations; it wanted collections.  But playing around, sometimes it would accept specific Bible abbreviations; depended on what was there before.  I gave up and used my tagged Bibles.

- This morning I had Isaiah 2:1-4.  But I wanted Isaiah 2:1 specifically.  So I edited the verse, erasing the '-4', and pressed 'Enter'. Nothing happened.  It simply replaced Isaiah 2:1-4 (thank you Logos!!).  Watching it in my slow-mo cam, I can see why.  It's not picking up the initial choice (Isa 2:1) in its drop-down menu.  I tried this in other verse text boxes; they work correctly.

I initially didn't put 'Bug:' since it won't be fixed.  Just being realistic.

    Would you put Bug to make this thread easier to find for other people who later discover this problem?

    It is quirky, even buggy!

    This behaviour should be made consistent with Passage Guide/Exegetical Guide, etc
