Odd behavior with RCL Episcopal lectionary vs 79 BCP lectionary

I'm not sure if this is something that's a problem on my end, or with the data-set for the latest version of the RCL Episcopal Sunday lectionary.

When I right-click on a lection passage in the list at the beginning of a Sunday in the 79 BCP lectionary, I get an option to open a passage guide, exegetical guide, etc. When I right-click on a lection in the RCL document, I get more options, but I don't see the option to open a passage guide.

Given my preaching workflow - I'd very much like to open the passage guide. That's the easiest way to open the tools I use for sermon prep. 

Am I missing something in the RCL? Is there somewhere I can report the issue?

Thanks for any help.

    Is it possible that you open the BCP lectionary readings to the bible reference options of the right-click menu, and the RCL readings to the selection? For me, both lectionaries behave the same, and RCL gives the option for passage guide etc, but only when the reference view is selected:

    Does this work for you?

    Thanks for the reply. No it doesn't.

    I'm specifically referring to the RCL Episcopal Lectionary. The RCL lectionary in your illustration behaves like the 79 BCP lectionary. It's the "Episcopal Church (USA) Revised Common Lectionary" that is missing the passage guide, exegetical guide, etc. options in the context menu.

    Ah - I misspoke. (Or the updated dataset I just installed fixed the issue.) What you describe in the RCL lectionary is what I am now seeing as well - selecting the reference gives me direct access to the passage guide in the left portion of the context menu.

    Thanks!
