BUG: Bibliography will not add resources from a floating window

Layout has several study Bibles in a floating window. Selected text in the Jewish Study Bible and clicked the add drop down in the Bibliography tool. Clicked the Selected Text option. Logos added the Lexham Hebrew Bible to the bibliography (this was the last pane selected in the main window). Tried this with the floating window on both displays, and the resulting bibliographic entry would alway be the last selected pane in the main window.

However, if memory serves, the initial entry into this bibliography did come from an entire article selected from JBL which was in a floating window on the secondary display at the time.

Add All Open Resources does correctly include resources in floating windows.

Hi Jack

I've just tried this with one study Bible in a floating window and another in the main window - nothing else open apart from a Bibliography document.

I don't have the Jewish Study Bible so had the ESV Study Bible in the floating window.

Clicking on "Selected Text" correctly added the citation from the ESV Study Bible.

Do you have the ESVSB? If so, do you see the same issue with that?

Wondering if this is a Mac / Windows difference?

Yes I have it, and yes the bibliography still inputs an incorrect resource.

Wondering if this is a Mac / Windows difference?

Always a possibility.

Confirmed in most cases.

If you have the Bibliography in the main window and click to remove the earlier selection before you select something in the floating window, it works. In all other cases it seems to fail, one way or another.

If an earlier selection in the main window remains, it will be added again, instead of the newer one in the floating window.

If the Bibliography is in the floating window, trying to add a selection from the floating window does nothing at all.

Thank you for the confirmation. I can also confirm the one sequence that will make it work correctly.
