Highlighting tool not displaying
Once I highlight a text and then I want to add another Highlight the highlight option is not available.
For example. If I bold a text and then go back to that same text and want to add an underline there is no option. I have to open the highlight side panel and do it from there.
I could do this previously. where did it go?
mm.

Sorry - I'm not quite sure where you expect the option to appear
Please explain further - ideally including screenshots.

I gather he meant the selection menu, which will appear on selecting text and allow to apply the five last used highlights. But for me, it works as I believe it should: when I highlight a text using the selection menu, e.g. with bold, move the selection away, and later go back, select the text again, then the selection menu appears again and I can apply another highlight, such as underline.
@Milkman, in this case you may need to publish a small video showing your experience

The first shot is without any highlights yet, but once I select "THE STORY LINE OF THE BIBLE" I now have the option to choose any recently made highlights or to open the High light tool.
The second shot is after I make the text red. What I wanted to do is to underline the Red highlight with a blue underline. So I select the red text and the option to open the highlight tool is no longer there.
That option is no longer available in L9. What I have to now do is select the highlighting option from Tools, select it and then it opens to the left of my screen/page...

I see what you mean - the option to open the Highlighting Tool from the popup menu has been replaced with the option to delete the highlight you have seleced.
I can see why this could be helpful - I don't know if it was a change between Logos 8 and Logos 9

I think we had both options before. One to delete previous highlights and one to add another highlight not displayed in the 5 previous one but another one that is found in the drop down highlight tool.
It's not a huge deal. What does it take to do a couple of extra steps. But I don't understanding taking away an option.
Well maybe they'll add it back.

Nothing was taken away. This is the way the popup has always operated.

When the code was first written, it conditionally showed the highlighting tool or erase button based on whether or not there was something to erase at the selected location.

Don't let that stop you from writing up a suggestion for people to vote on though.
