Bug: Copy bible verses looses space between words
This bug has been since Logos 7 but is still present in 8. I try to copy Bible verses and find that when I paste it into a doc, some words have beenjoined like that. It usually happens about 3 times in a passage.

Any chance of a screen shot of the panel on Logos and of the resulting document?
I have never seen this.

How exactly are you copying the verses? Are you using the Copy Bible Verses Tool? If so, what style are you using? Or are you copying the Bible verses straight from the Bible?
It seems like to me it is something to do with superscript footnotes that are not being copied, so leaving no space.
And, like Mike, I have never had this happen to me.

It's the copy bible verses tool and it happen with any style.

This would help us investigate the problem. Currently, we don't have enough information to track this down.

Is there some difficulty...
If you are using a Mac then Cmd-Shift-4 will place some crosshairs on you screen allowing you to select the required section.
Click drag to get the section outlined. When you let go the resulting screen shot will b placed on your desktop.
Use the paperclip on the tool bar above to attach the screen shot to a post in this thread.
I am sure that google will provide instruction for a similarly easy method for Windows.

Doesn't happen with every passage... remembering which passages will require me to go back through the lectionary in my none existent spare time... but I'll get round to it.

I know how you feel about the spare time.
The thread won't go away - just wait until is happens again, grab a screen shot, dig out the thread and post the screen shot then.

In what lectionary or Bible does this occur?

Here is an example, errors in bold:
Luke 1:46–56(AV)
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holyishis name. 50 And his mercyison them that fear him from generation to generation. 51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty fromtheirseats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance ofhismercy; 55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

I can't reproduce this using Logos 8.1 RC 2 on Windows 10

I cannot reproduce on macOS 10.14.2, Logos 8.1 RC 2, using Pages.
What OS are you on?
What word processor are you using?
Does it happen in other word processors/email/text editors?

A screenshot would still be very useful to help us investigate this problem.
I notice that the words you're having problems with are italicised in the AV; are you using a custom CBV style to remove italics?

No this is not a custom style... I'm running mac os 10.13.6 at home and the latest mojave at church... happens in multiple translations, normally nivuk is what we use. This was pasted directly into the forum post. It also appears when pasted into pages, word or my fav which is google docs;)

I've just got back from a school carol service and tried again...
Luke 1:46–56(AV)
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holyishis name. 50 And his mercyison them that fear him from generation to generation. 51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty fromtheirseats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance ofhismercy; 55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
I guess it is something to do with where there is formatting?

What do you see in the CBV window itself?

Sorry, John, I still cannot replicate...I keep trying.
What happens if you "Paste and Match Style"?

From your screenshot of Pages, this doesn't seem to be the case. Am I mistaken?

It's possible that I was mistaken about pages... I'm not sure if it is intermittent?

I just thought it might have to do with Word for Mac or [shudder] Google docs. :-)
