Parallel Resources that are NOT parallel resources

I've brought this up a long time ago, but it hasn't changed in Logos 8.

In a nutshell I try to cycle through resources open in a tab using the arrow keys and eventually Logos brings up a resource that HAS NO PARALLEL RESOURCES leaving me unable to move to any other resource! It's  like a train driving off the end of the tracks. There's no way back. The parallel slanted bars go away.The tab has to be closed and I have to start from scratch by finding and opening one of the resources I had previously shown.

The idea behind cycling through resources in one tab spares me from having multiple tabs open in a pane for resources I might use, like multiple commentaries and lexicons. However, the simple truth is that I can't count on Logos demonstrating a consistent behavior so I have to go back to opening multiple tabs.

Why are you unable to fix this? 

Have a great day,

    Jim, what I do is use the navigation arrows in the resource pane when I get to a non-parallel resource.

    The parallel resource navigation behaves as I would expect if I understand you correctly. But I would expect history navigation to put things "right"

    Edit: so I was a bit slow

    One way to prevent the 'tracks' from ending is via collections. Create a collection and choose "show in parallel resources".

    Now from the Parallel resource menu in your resource, choose your collection rather than "all parallel resources" (click in the header to select the // set). In the screenshot below you can see that I have my ESV set to "parallel resource bibles". I do have another Bible collection called "Core Bibles" which is also showing so the "All parallel resources" set is on page 2 of the menu (lower right-hand corner has page number and arrows).
