I saw this on the Faithlife site today and thought I'd bring light to it. I haven't tested it yet though

Subject: Buggy Text Comparison Tool: concatenation of text errors
Reply-To: David Silva

Good day to you,

There is a bug in the Text Comparison Tool which results in words being connected without a space character between them. This results in the need to edit Scripture List when Translation comparisons are exported for use in sermons, lessons, emails, MS Word docs, etc. Additionally, the strikethrough text formatting remains in the concatenated text comparison, leaving a strikethrough character when a space is inserted to separate the conjoined words which should be separated.

I use this tool a lot with many Bibles, sometimes as many as ten translations at a time. I am spending a ridiculous amount of time editing erroneously joined words because programmers omit a plain space character without strikethrough formatting when performing concatenation of text.

Really, Logos/Verbum should be embarrassed at this rudimentary program error. I have suffered through this bug since Version 7 since the beginning of 2017 and now it's at V9 three years later and I still waste much time with a bug that should have been noticed and fixed long ago.

This was the 1st of 7 emails with a tech who replicated the bug and reported it. But it has never been corrected (which can be seen in this current blog post on the Text Comparison Tool). I reported this and nothing in all this time. Unbelievable that this bug still crawls around in the Text Comparison Tool. Pax Christi
