P17-2 Textual Commentary
In the screen shot above is it clear that the two guide sections are referring to the same set of five resources? I think not ... in fact I wasted time trying to figure out what was going wrong before I realized that it is the result of using the series name for the commentary in some settings but not in others. Not a good UI practice.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I did not even know there was a Variants guide. Learn something everyday--thanks MJ!

    MJ,

    This isn't a bug, its just inconsistent due to the new commentaries section. Series name is only used there.

    I knew all that assuming you mean bug in the narrow sense but I thought it was more polite to call it a bug or design inconsistency than an ill-thought-out, stupid, idiotic, severely-poor-designed, user-unfriendly, defective UI. I will, however, use the latter terminology in the future if you prefer. I always aim to be polite.[;)] 

    In this case, I will change the title to get it the appropriate attention.

    MJ,

    No need MJ, I was just letting you know that it's not a bug in the sense it would not necessarily get changed right away. I'll certainly create a case. I was trying to set expectations. Sorry if I was unclear.
